Process
- class src.Source.characterization.Process.process.Process(in_var, kb: KB)[source]
Bases:
objectCreate Process object and characterize its process components (Inflow/Outflow/Maintenance/Evaporation).
A process is sequencing of actions, in continuous or batch, which includes heating/cooling of streams. Regarding the types of streams: Inflow - going in stream -, Outflow - going out stream - , Maintenance/ Evaporation - energy demand for a specific temperature. The process can be continuous or in batch.
