CADETProcess.fractionation.Fractionator.mass_balance_difference

property Fractionator.mass_balance_difference

ndarray: Difference in mass balance between m_feed and fraction pools.

The mass balance is calculated as the difference between the feed mass (m_feed) and the mass in the fraction pools. It represents the discrepancy or change in mass during the fractionation process.

Returns:

ndarray

Difference in mass balance between m_feed and fraction pools for each component.

Notes

Positive values indicate a surplus of mass in the fraction pools compared to the feed, while negative values indicate a deficit. A value of zero indicates a mass balance where the mass in the fraction pools is equal to the feed mass.
