[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
