The equations added by a junction correspond to a mass flow balance for hydraulic calculations.
\begin{align*}
\sum_{n=0}^N \dot{m}_{in_n} - \sum_{l=0}^M \dot{m}_{out_l} = 0
\end{align*}
For temperature calculations, the thermal power carried by the incoming fluids is balanced:
\begin{align*}
\sum_{n=0}^N \dot{m}_{in_n}c_p T_{in_n} - \sum_{l=0}^M \dot{m}_{out_l} c_p T_{m} = 0
\end{align*}
