| Single-Flow
Devices
A single inlet-State and a single exit-State completely define the mass interaction between the system and its surroundings. Examples of devices operating at steady state includes nozzles, diffusers, duct flow, compressors, pumps, turbines, condenser, evaporator etc. An Analysis layer is added to the States layer to solve mass, energy and entropy balance equations. After evaluating the anchor states fully or partially, you import them to the Analysis panel, enter the known device variables, and Calculate up to three unknowns. A Super-Calculate iterates between the State and Analysis panels. |

| Exergy
Analysis
After a device analysis is complete, an exergy (availability) analysis is really simple. You evaluate the dead-State and import it to the Exergy Panel where all the exergy related variables are calculated and displayed. In a what-if study, when you change a variable and update all calculations using the Super-Calculate button, the Exergy Panel is also updated. |

Mixing Systems
A mixing chamber where two flows, identified by two inlet States, enter the system at steady state, mixes and then exits through a single port (a single e-State). Or a separation chamber (flash chamber of a refrigeration system, for instance), where a single flow separates into two exit flows. |

Non-Mixing Systems
Two flows that do not mix as they pass through the system. The best example is a closed-type heat-exchanger. Two inlet-States and two exit-States are required to describe such systems. |
