flash.hpp

/*
This unit takes operating P and T, and indexes of streams. It applies
the Rachford-Rice procedure to solve the isothermal flash problem
(ref : Seader & Henley).

Structure in the .process file:
flash {name} {pressure} {temperature} {index of input stream} {index of output liquid and output vapor}

How to use:
   1- Call the constructor : flash1 = new flash(in, out_L, out_V);			//in is the feed, out_L is the liquid output and out_V is the vapor output 
   2- Set P and T: flash1->set(P,T);
   3- Set the name: flash1->set(name);
   4a- Perform an isothermal flash : flash1->solve();
   4b- Perform an adiabatic flash: flash1->adiabatic();
