Tank Class
Represents a Tank unit operation that models a storage vessel for material accumulation.
In dynamic mode, the tank tracks liquid inventory over time, integrating inlet and outlet
mass flows to update the accumulated content. In steady-state mode, the tank passes the
inlet stream through to the outlet, applying an optional pressure drop.
