BALANCES ON MULTIPLE-UNIT PROCESSES
A flowchart for a two-unit process is shown in Figure 4.4-1. Five boundaries drawn about portions of the process define systems
on which balances may be written.
Boundary A encloses the entire process; the system defined by this boundary has as inputs Feed Streams 1, 2, and 3 and Product
Streams 1, 2, and 3. (Convince yourself.) Balances on this system are referred to as overall balances . The stream that connects
Units 1 and 2 is internal to this system and so would not enter into overall system balances.
Boundary B encloses a feed stream mixing point. Feed Streams 1 and 2 are inputs to this system and the stream flowing to Unit 1
is an output. Boundary C encloses Unit 1 (one input stream and two output streams), Boundary D encloses a stream splitting
point (one input stream and two output streams), and Boundary E encloses Unit 2 (two input streams and one output stream).
