Separator (MF)#

The Separator (MF) block simulates the operation of a separator and performs separation of the gas and liquid phases. Each phase is directed to the corresponding ports of the block.

Law of conservation of mass (1) :

(1)#\[\dot m_1=\dot m_2 + \dot m_3\]

where:

\(\dot m_1\) – mass flow rate of the medium at the inlet, [kg/s];

\(\dot m_2\) – mass flow rate of gas at the outlet, [kg/s];

\(\dot m_3\) – mass flow rate of liquid at the outlet, [kg/s].

Calculation of pressure losses (2) :

(2)#\[P_{вых}=P_{вх} - \Delta P\]

where:

\(P_{in}\) – pressure of the medium at the inlet, [Pa];

\(P_{out}\) – pressure of the medium at the outlet, [Pa];

\(\Delta P\) – pressure drop, [Pa].
