Splitter
A splitter divides input stream (In) into two output streams (Out1 and Out2), as shown in the figure below.

Both output streams are defined for the same set of time points for which the input stream has been defined. The splitting of input stream into more than two fractions can be done by sequential connection of several splitter units.
You can specify the splitting factor K_{splitt}, which is defined in following equations. Here \dot{m} is a mass flow.
\dot{m}_{out1} &= K_{splitt} \cdot \dot{m}_{in} \dot{m}_{out2} &= (1-K_{splitt} ) \cdot \dot{m}_{in}
Note
Notations:
\dot{m} - mass flow
K_{splitt} - Splitting factor
