Re: [TRNSYS-users] Change of working fluid



Ravindra,
  The answer to your question depends somewhat on which models you are talking about. Most TRNSYS models assume that the fluid properties (usually density and specific heat) are constant over the temperature range that they will experience during the simulation. The assumption goes all the way in to the derivation of the equations used in the model. If you need a piece of equipment whose working fluid's properties must change with temperature then you have to rederive the basic equations and rewrite or revise the model. There are some models in the TESS High Temperature Solar library that allow you to enter coefficients that describe how the properties of the working fluid vary with temperature.
kind regards,
 David

In a solar domestic hot water system is it possible to change the properties of the working fluid. I mean the water will be heated but the secondary fluid is changed. I want to use supercritical CO2 as the working fluid. Please guide me in this thing.
