Variable fluid properties in Simscape

Hello,

I would like to ask a question about Simscape regarding the implementation of variables depending on temperature and pressure (such as Cp, Cv, etc...).

Firstly, would it be possible to be implemented ?

I thought a kind of component which would be like the "custom fluid" or "hydraulic fluid" component in SimHydraulics: it would be a component whose inputs are a 1D or 2D table-look up (the different properties of the fluid =f(T,P)). Once connected to your model, the whole network will use these variable fluid properties (a little bit like the "hydraulic fluid" component but variable).

Is it possible to implement such a device ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Edouard

Use the Thermal Liquid domain to model systems with fluid properties that depend on temperature and pressure. Basic blocks are available in the Simscape Foundation Library, and more advanced blocks are available in Simscape Fluids.
