Include Pseudocomponent

Individual pseudocomponents with specific properties can be added to the inflow if distillation data is unavailable. The "type" must be set as "pseudo" to add a pseudocomponent JSON object. Users can customize the pseudocomponent name using the "name" field.

Below is a sample input to add a pseudocomponent to the inflow:

{ 
	"inflows": [
	{
	     "name": "H2O"
	}, 
    	{
            "name": "PSEUDOAA",
            "type": "pseudo",
            "enabled": true,
            "data": {
		"thermodynamicMethod": "API-8",
		"normalBoilingPoint": {
			"unit": "°C",
			"value": 69.0,
			"enabled": true
		},
		"specificGravity": {
			"value": 1.2,
			"enabled": false
		},
		"molecularWeight": {
			"value": 86.0,
			"enabled": true
		},
		"criticalTemperature": { 
			"value": 379,
			"unit": "°C",
			"enabled": true
		},  
		"criticalPressure": { 
			"unit": "atm",
			"value": 217,
			"enabled": true
		}, 
		"criticalVolume": { 
			"unit": "L", 
			"value": 0.057,
			"enabled": true
		}, 
		"acentric": { 
			"value": 0.34,
			"enabled": true
		}
		}
	    } 
	]	
} 

Pseudocomponent	required	type	description
name	✔️	String	A name provided by the user for this input assay.
type	✔️	String	This field is used to identify the type of inflow. Allowed values include "assay" or "pseudo".
data	✔️	JSON Object	Contains the user-defined input for an assay.

Optional Properties

data	required	type
thermodynamicMethod	❌	String
normalBoilingPoint	❌	JSON Object
specificGravity	❌	JSON Object
molecularWeight	❌	JSON Object
criticalTemperature	❌	JSON Object
criticalPressure	❌	JSON Object
criticalVolume	❌	JSON Object
accentric	❌	JSON Object

A few key points to remember are:

The "type" must be specified as either "assay" or "pseudo". Otherwise, the species is treated as a regular inflow species.

The supported thermodynamic methods are API-8, API-5, Cavett, and Kessler.

A minimum of 2 of the folllowing properties "normalBoilingPoint", "specificGravity", and "molecularWeight" are required.

All supercritical properties are optional and can be disabled.

The pseudo object and its associated input JSON object can be enabled or disabled using "enabled" Keyword
