Method&Equations

The outlet consistency must be positive, and must be less than 0.2.
Option 1 - DR
The mass balance is calculated for every component of the shower and inlet flows as follows:
    Cmat = DR * Cshower + (1 - DR) * Cin
where:
    Cmat is the solids concentrations (lb/ft3) in the mat
    Cshower is the solids concentrations (lb/ft3) in the shower
    Cin is the solids concentrations (lb/ft3) in the inlet.
All solids (pulp, etc.) are assumed to leave with the mat.
Option 2 - NN
In this case DR is predicted using the Norden Number.
All other calculations are performed with the predicted DR.
Temperature behavior is correlated with the default DR unless different DR is given.
If selected, one dissolved solid can have lower or higher displacement ratio meaning it will be washed out from the pulp stream with higher or lower efficiency.
