A single-stage vapor-compression refrigeration loop: propane vapor is compressed, condensed to subcooled liquid, throttled through a valve, and superheated back to vapor in the evaporator before recycling — a small makeup feed and purge close the mass balance (inspired by ChemSep's Refrigeration_* reference cases).

The flowsheet

The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.

The stream table

Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
