Degree of Freedom Analysis
Example 3
• 9 unknowns
– 4 material balances (1 each for C1, C2, C3, C4)
• ndf = 9 – (4) = 5
Material Balance
General Procedure – Single Unit operation
1. Choose as a basis of calculation an amount or flow
rate of one of the process streams.
– If an amount or flow of a stream is given, it is usually
convenient to use it as the basis of calculation.
Subsequently calculated quantities will be correctly
scaled.
– If several stream amounts or flows are given, always
use them collectively as the basis.
– If no stream amount or flow rate is specified, take as a
basis an arbitrariy amount or flow rate of a stream
with a known composition.
