5.11 The Splitter Function: splite

 

Here is a listing of splite:

  function hdif=splite(t,in,out,s,tmp)
  % splite: energy-balance splitter module
  % function hdif=splite(t,in,out,s,tmp)
  % Argument List
  % Argument      Gives
  %    t     the fraction of the inlet stream
  %          that goes to each exit stream.      
  %   in     the index of the inlet stream.
  %   out    the indices of the exit streams.
  %    s     the states of the exit streams.
  %   tmp    the temperatures of the exit streams.
  % The last two arguments are optional. Without them this works as a
  % normal splitter. With them splite can be used as a sort of heat
  % exchanger on the exit streams.
  % 
  % Ex:  splite([.2 .2 .2 .2 .2],1,2:6)
  %   would split stream 1 into 5 equal parts in streams 2 through 6,
  %   all with the same state and temperature as stream 1.
  % Ex:  splite([.2 .3 .5],1,2:4,'vvl',[400 300 200])
  %   would split stream 1 into streams 2, 3 and 4.
  %   Stream 2 would get 20% of the flow, as a vapor at 400 Tdeg,
  %   stream 3 would get 30% as vapor at 300 Tdeg,
  %   and stream 4 would get the remaining 50% as liquid at 200 Tdeg.
  % 
  % Splite returns the enthalpy difference between the inlet and outlet
  % streams, which should be zero unless the last two arguments 
  % are given.
  % 
  % For additional help and picture of Ex. #2 , see PICSPLITE
  %JWD, TYLC

  global ne
  lt=length(t);
  if length(out)~=lt
     disp('Your t and out vectors are not the same length in splite')
     return
  end
  if sum(t)~=1.0
     disp('The t vector does not sum to 1 in splite')
     return
  end
  if nargin<5
     tmp=ne(in,1)*ones(1,lt);
     if nargin<4
        sl='slv';
        s=sl((ne(in,2)+1)*ones(1,lt));
     end
  end
  [nr,nc]=size(ne);
  j=find(ne(in,4:nc));
  for i=1:lt
     setne(s(i),out(i),tmp(i),t(i)*ne(in,j+3),j)
  end
  hdif=sum(ne(out,3))-ne(in,3);
  return
