SPARSCODE was evaluated based on the simulation of natural gas liquefaction using multicomponent refrigerants. Results obtained on four cases containing 179 to 573 equations show a computing time reduction by a factor of 40 to 250 in equation solving and an overall reduction by a factor of 4 to 30 for the simulation.
