Hi everyone,


I need to insert 3 functions for Specific Heat Capacity related to 3 different temperature ranges in a solid material.


Here are the functions:


5.81E+2[J kg^-1 K^-1], for Temperature < 533.3[K]




-2.96E+3[J kg^-1 K^-1]+1.50E+1[J kg^-1 K^-2]*Temperature-2.33E-2[J kg^-1 K^-3]*Temperature^2+,1.64E-5[J kg^-1 K^-4]*Temperature^3-4.40E-9[J kg^-1 K^-5]*Temperature^4, for 533.3[K] <=Temperature < 1088.9[K]




4.14E+2[J kg^-1 K^-1]+8.63E-1[J kg^-1 K^-2]*Temperature-6.14E-4[J kg^-1 K^-3]*Temperature^2+2.09E-7[J kg^-1 K^-4]*Temperature^3-2.70E-11[J kg^-1 K^-5]*Temperature^4, for 1088.9[K] <= Temperature < 2200[K]


Is it possible? If so, how?


Thanks!

Have you tried nested if statements?

if(T< 533[K],first expression,if(T<1088[K], second expression, if(T<2200[k], third expression,#)))
where # is the value for Cp above 2200 [K]

Yes, this can be simply done by expressions.

I would first make an (if) sentence that would chose in what sector the temperature is either(S1,S2,S3)
like this:

sector selector=...if(T<533[K],S1,if(T<1088[K],S2,S3)) [J kg^-1 K^-1]

than write three expresions for sectors:

S1=....your equation dependant on (T)
S2=....-ll-
S3=....-ll-

Than you set the, here called sector selector expression as a material property for heat capacity.

hehe it seems that lance and I were both tiping the same thing at the same time

First of all, you will most likely need to include more significant digits when using higher polynomial expressions like that.

Second, another way to do this would be just using a user interpolation function, like a table of temperatures and values for specific heat.
