The modeling of thermo-physical fluid properties is of great importance when modeling thermo-fluid systems. The Modelica Standard Library provides a number of medium models that can be used in component models but are not sufficient in many applications. This paper presents a new interface library with a Modelica front-end that allows for an easy inclusion of external fluid property code in Mod...

In this study we provide a multi-physical and multi-scale characterization of an organic Phase Change Material (PCM), i.e. hexadecane, for both its liquid solid phase during the transition. Macroscopic thermal physical properties provided are density viscosity in conductivity heat capacity each phase. Further macroscopic measurements were done by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which w...

Thermal protective performance tests have been conducted and improved over the years to assess safety provided by firefighters’ outer thermal garments. Existing evaluation criteria based on empirical relations require an iterative process estimate skin burn injuries. In this work, concept of critical time – maximum exposure before physical failure, is proposed, utilized abate process. The relat...

Thermo-osmosis is a coupled phenomenon describing the fluid flow induced by thermal gradient. Recent studies on thermo-osmosis in clays and within thermal, hydraulic mechanical analysis have revealed importance of this physical processes geo-energy geo-environmental applications. This paper presents series molecular dynamics simulations interfacial water behaviour at vicinity silicate layers to...
