<HTML><BODY>Dear Georgios<br /><br />all the models you cite can be used. No. 53 is the "legacy" model of ESP-r. Nos. 54 and 55 based on S. Hoffmann Thesis are destined for removal. No. 56 is an enhance model which allows for subcooling effects (not by S. Hoffmann, though). This model can be used in "simple" mode (similar to No. 53), also. Data generation for sub cooling mode can prove slightly difficult, as a set of parameters for a "best fit" function must be generated.<br /><br />Best<br />Achim<br /><br /><br /><br />--------- Original-Nachricht --------<br /> Von: "Sigalas, G." <g.sigalas@student.tue.nl><br /> An: "esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk" <esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk><br /> Betreff: [esp-r] PCM model used in Esp-r<br /> Datum: 06/04/11 15:33<br /> <br /> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2!
