Splitter Class

Represents a stream splitter unit operation that divides one inlet material stream into up to three outlet streams. The split can be specified using fractional ratios, absolute mass flow rates, or absolute molar flow rates. The outlet streams share the same temperature, pressure, enthalpy, and composition as the inlet stream.
