Curious about why these lines are being deleted. I probably didn't look closely enough, but have they been moved elsewhere or completely removed? And why?

@adam-a-a They are removed as we integrate the steam heater, pump, and other essential components into the full FC crystallizer flowsheet. Therefore, the flow rates of the steam and recycle streams, along with their associated costs, are incorporated within the cost calculations of the steam heater and pump unit models.

@ElmiraShamlou but removing this hinders whoever wants to use the combined unit we had previously.

Maybe what we need is a configuration argument that determines the mode the user wants (broken down or combined), and then adds the necessary equations for each case?

Same question here, except it makes more sense immediately as to why we wouldn't want/need this in a costing module
