Hello!

I'm new in OpenFoam and use the interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam solver.
The tutorial condensatingVessel slightly confuses me. Of course the material values depend on the temperature. The vapour values are given for T=386, its the same like the initial value of the temperature, so that sounds logical. But I don't understand which temperature is assigned to the liquid phase (I think ca. 330K, because of the values from FC-72) and why?
An other question is which Prandtl Number I should use?
And the last question: The saturation temperature in the thermophysicalProperties is given to T=366 K. I checked this and found for FC-72 a T_Sat=330K. It is a mistake or is there a deeper meaning behind it?

I hope anybody can help me to understand this solver.

Regards

Robin
