[esp-r] Re: Phase change materials properties

[Dariusz Heim]

Dear Juanita,

The displayed unit for thermal conductivity should be W/(m^2K).

The detailed explanation about "a" and "b" you can find below:
https://github.com/ESP-rCommunity/ESP-rSource/blob/master/src/ebld/spmatl.F
line 4876 (case 2).

Good luck,
Darek
