Hello all,
In my work, I need to plot Cp value. While referring the threads here, I came across the builtin package - "specificHeat.tar.gz". Credits and thanks to Mr. Bruno Santos.

how can see Cp values?
With this, I altered the thermophysical properties for my solid model as attached here. COMPILED well and GOOD in OpenFOAM - 2.1.1.
While running the case file, I came up with one technical error as follows:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
cannot find file

file: /home/kummijai/OpenFOAM/CASES/1/constant/solidThermophysicalProperties at line 0.

From function regIOobject::readStream()
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73.

FOAM exiting

Apparently, the error is all about the absence of solidThermophysicalProperties file in constant folder. The image in the attachment clearly shows, solidThermophysicalProperties file is not kept under constant file directly. For pyrolysis modelling in OpenFOAM, the location of solidThermophysicalProperties file is set- as like,

Case_File/constant/oven/solidThermophysicalProperties

Any ideas how to eliminate this technical error ?
Kindly suggest me.
Thank you

Dear Foamers,
In this problem, there are two different regions named furnace and oven. (kind of multi-region solver)

How can I get the Cp value from my (solid)thermophysicalProperties in constant/region_folder/solidThermophysicalProperties. My solidThermophysicalProperties file looks like this:

thermoType
solidMixtureThermo<reactingSolidMixture<constSolid Transport<constSolidRad<constSolidThermo<constRho> >>>>;

solidComponents
(
coal char
);
coalCoeffs
{
transport
{
K 0.035;
}
radiation
{
sigmaS 0.0;
kappa 0.0;
emissivity 0.0;
}
thermodynamics
{
Cp 1052.4;
Tref1 380;
Tref2 1800;
Hf -1.74e6;
}
density
{
rho 1329;
}
};

With this, the Cp value can be extracted using functionObjects as:

heatCp
{
type cellSource;
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
enabled true;
outputControl timeStep;
region oven;
outputInterval 1;
log true;
valueOutput false;
source all;
sourceName none;
operation volAverage;
fields
(
heatCp
);
}

How to access the above (solid)thermodynamics dictionary by eliminating above error, where Cp value can be extracted ??
