Detailed Description

This class enables defining phase change laws for a given material. These laws are predefined for a certain number of materials. The user can set himself a specific behavior for his own materials by defining a class that inherits from PhaseChange. The derived class must has at least the member function.

int EnthalpyToTemperature(double &H, double &T, double &gamma)

Public Member Functions
int	E2T (double &H, double &T, double &gamma)
	Calculate temperature from enthalpy.
virtual int	EnthalpyToTemperature (double &H, double &T, double &gamma)
	Virtual function to calculate temperature from enthalpy.
Material &	getMaterial () const
	Return reference to Material instance.
void	setMaterial (Material &m, int code)
	Choose Material instance and material code.

Member Function Documentation

int E2T	(	double &	H,
		double &	T,
		double &	gamma
	)

Calculate temperature from enthalpy.

This member function is to be called in any equation class that needs phase change laws.

Parameters:

[in]	H	Enthalpy value
[out]	T	Calculated temperature value
[out]	gamma	Maximal slope of the curve H -> T

virtual int EnthalpyToTemperature	(	double &	H,
		double &	T,
		double &	gamma
	)			[virtual]

Virtual function to calculate temperature from enthalpy.

This member function must be implemented in any derived class in order to define user's own material laws.

Parameters:

[in]	H	Enthalpy value
[out]	T	Calculated temperature value
[out]	gamma	Maximal slope of the curve H -> T
