Thermophysical Database - Thermo-Prop
-
Version
1.4
Thermo-Prop database is the outcome of extensive work
carried out on the development of sound, accurate,
experimentally and physically based models for
materials properties. Wide ranging data are available
such as aluminium, copper and ferrous alloys which
also include more detailed information concerning
fraction solid, density and thermal conductivity
change in the mushy zone that intrinsically occur
during solidification.
For example, the thermophysical and physical
properties of the liquid and solid phases are critical
components in casting simulations. Such properties
include the fraction solid transformed, enthalpy
release, thermal conductivity and density, all as a
function of temperature.
The database is well established as the leading source
of information on materials properties; thus it
provides a strong platform for thermophysical and
physicochemical properties needed in process modelling.
Thermo-Prop software incorporates high quality
databases, which have been measured and compiled by
Institute of Engineering Thermophysics and through
collaboration with National Academy of Sciences and
SGTE (Scientific Group Thermodata Europe).
Features of Thermo-Prop software for Windows include:
* The most reliable thermophysical and physicochemical
property calculations available.
* Automatic calculation of thermophysical and
physicochemical properties; thus access to a wide
range of critically assessed thermophysical and
physicochemical data.
* The database covers thermophysical properties
(Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy, specific heat
capacity, thermal conductivity and density) for all
the metallic elements in the periodic tables; and
alloys, namely aluminium, copper and ferrous alloys.
* Likewise, physicochemical properties (viscosity and
surface tension) for all the metallic elements and
their corresponding binary alloys are also covered.
* Heat transfer module is also availabe to determine
parameters of heat transfer coefficient.
