Thermolib contains a blockset with ready to use components commonly used in thermodynamic systems. Thermolib provides blocks for heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, turbines, valves, chemical reactors, fuel cell stacks etc.

The generic component blocks can be adapted to measurement data via customized characterization curves of components, e.g. compressor maps, valve characteristics or fuel cell polarization curves.

Thermolib helps you to create dynamic operational models for balance-of-plant components using first principles and experimental data. You can fully concentrate on modeling your key components using the fundamental thermodynamic building blocks!

To set up sources of media flows Thermolib has a set of source blocks to define and configure pure or arbitrary mixtures of substances with predefined thermodynamic states. Flow rates, temperatures, pressures etc. can be input in different physical units as appropriate. Media flow can be defined as mass flows, molar flow or volumetric flow.

Also, application-specific sources, e. g. air-vapor mixtures are available. Thermolib provides virtual sensors to display all selected flow properties in their corresponding units.
