The outlet pressure entered for the new splitter method must be in absolute
pressure units. Since the outlet of the column will be 3.8 psig, we need to
convert this to psia for the method translator. Absolute pressure = gauge
pressure + 14.696. Hence, 3.8 + 14.696 = 18.496 will be entered.
The calculated inlet pressure for the new splitter method is 30.93 psig and the
new column flow is 3.09 mL/min.
