MaterialStream

The MaterialStream class represents a process fluid stream and stores thermodynamic state, flow information, and composition data.

Features

• Single-component and multi-component streams
• Automatic composition normalization
• Supports volumetric, mass, and molar flow rates
• Component-based initialization
• Manual property-based initialization

Example

from processpi.streams import MaterialStream
from processpi.components import Water
from processpi.units import Temperature, MassFlowRate

stream = MaterialStream(
    "Hot Water",
    component=Water(),
    temperature=Temperature(350, "K"),
    mass_flow=MassFlowRate(2, "kg/s")
)
