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
		}
		}
	    } 
	]	
}
