A substream is used to define a new sub-flow; as a beginner, I’m not quite sure how this works What is a sub-shipment? I’m a beginner; I hope someone experienced can give me some guidance?

A Substream is a method used by ASPEN to handle complex flows. For common homogeneous flows (such as those composed of NC components), there is usually only one Substream, namely Mixed; generally we don’t need to pay attention to it, as its properties are the same as those of the entire flow. For flows that contain heterogeneous conditions, further subdivision is necessary to describe the properties of the entire flow, and this is when it is required to define the parameters of the Substreams. A substream is a sub-flow; when there are non-conventional substances or solids present, it is necessary to define this sub-stream, as ordinary gas-liquid flows are mixed, which is the default setting in Aspen Found through searching!

Do you mean that as long as there is a uniform mixing, there will be no sub-streams, and if the mixing is not uniform, then sub-streams need to be taken into account, right?
