Examples

Each example is a Jupyter notebook in the repository's examples/ directory. The pages here are the notebooks executed when the site was built, so their output is what the software computes today. The test suite runs them again and compares every number a notebook's closing cell states in bold with the value it computes, so a page cannot drift from the code.

Example	What it shows	Needs
Rankine cycle	A once-through Rankine cycle on IAPWS-95 water; reading the solved state and the certificate	—
Refrigeration cycle	An R134a vapour-compression cycle on CoolProp, and its coefficient of performance	the coolprop extra; without it the notebook says it is skipped
Methanol–water column	A 20-stage distillation column on the Wilson γ–φ basis	—
What-if studies and refusals	A sweep by edits; a state outside the domain; a unit on a basis it does not support	—
Cost and climate impact	The Rankine cycle's capital and operating cost, its impact on a synthetic background, and their sensitivity to the boiler temperature	a source checkout (it reads the Rankine change set)

The notebooks solve through the public application contract only; the cost and impact example then uses the assessment layer (openflowsheet.assessment), which reads the solved state. Run one locally from a source checkout:

pip install jupyterlab
jupyter lab examples/rankine-cycle.ipynb

Demonstrations, not evidence

An example demonstrates the software on a stated configuration. It is never validation evidence: what the project has and has not shown is recorded in its evidence manifests and summarised in Limitations and support.
