class qsdsan.sanunits._abstract.ComponentSplitter(ID='', ins: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = None, outs: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = (), thermo=None, init_with='WasteStream', split_keys=())

Split the influent into individual components, the last effluent contains all remaining components.

Parameters:

split_keys (iterable) –

IDs of components to be split to different effluents. Element of the item in the iterable can be str or another iterable containing component IDs. If the item is also iterable, all components whose ID are in the iterable will be split to the same effluent. The split is always 1 for a certain component to an effluent (i.e., complete split).

Note

Length of the split_keys() (which determines size of the outs) cannot be changed after initiation.

Examples

bwaise systems

line: str = 'Component splitter'

class-attribute Name denoting the type of Unit class. Defaults to the class name of the first child class

property split_keys

[iterable] IDs of components to be split to different effluents. Element of the item in the iterable can be str or another iterable containing component IDs. If the item is also iterable, all components whose ID are in the iterable will be split to the same effluent. The split is always 1 for a certain component to an effluent (i.e., complete split).

Note

Length of the split_keys() (which determines size of the outs) cannot be changed after initiation.

class qsdsan.sanunits._abstract.FakeSplitter(ID='', ins: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = None, outs: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = (), thermo=None, init_with='WasteStream', include_construction=True, construction=[], transportation=[], equipment=[], add_OPEX={}, uptime_ratio=1.0, lifetime=None, F_BM_default=None, isdynamic=False, exogenous_vars=(), **kwargs)

Similar to biosteam.units.FakeSplitter, but can be initialized with qsdsan.SanStream and qsdsan.WasteStream.

Similar to biosteam.units.Mixer, but can be initialized with qsdsan.SanStream and qsdsan.WasteStream, and allows dynamic simulation.

biosteam.units.Mixer

line: str = 'Mixer'

class-attribute Name denoting the type of Unit class. Defaults to the class name of the first child class

property state

The state of the Mixer, including component concentrations [mg/L] and flow rate [m^3/d].

class qsdsan.sanunits._abstract.PhaseChanger(ID='', ins: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = None, outs: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = (), thermo=None, init_with='WasteStream', phase='l')

Change the effluent phase to the desired one, also allow the switch between stream types.

Parameters:

  • ins (Iterable(stream)) – influent

  • outs (Iterable(stream)) – effluent

  • phase (str) – Desired phase, can only be one of (“g”, “l”, or “s”).
