Conclusions

• Models of standard thermodynamic cycles provided:
  • all examples from ThermoSimT
    • Otto, Diesel, Joule-Brayton, Ericsson
    • using Simple Air, Dry Air, Steam/Water
  • more complex models
    • complete cycles using volume component
    • heat exchanger
    • accurate water model
• Construction of models:
  • not trivial, needs a lot of finetuning
  • for further models
    • step-by-step description in paper
• ThermoDLR library:
  • useful components and clear code
    • some important elements still missing
    • MultiSensor helpful
  • robust foundation
    • makes thermo-fluid modeling feasible to non-experts
    • but: it remains hard work!
