open source software: slPCMlib - solid/liquid PCM Modelica library

Description

The library slPCMlib contains property models for solid/liqid phase change materials (PCM) showing a non-isothermal phase transition behavior.

The library contains generic PCM and specific commercial PCM (media).
Different phenomenological phase transition models are implemented to account for temperature shifts in latent transition changes, e.g. due to multi-step transitions and thermal hysteresis. The models predict effective properties which are valid over the PCM functional temperature range where latent heat is absorbed and released. Based on the properties and adopting the apparent heat capacity method, heat transfer problems can be solved numerically.
