Apply different thermodynamic property model?

[minhwvu]

Can we use the ejector model with different property models, such as CoolProp or ThermoPack?

Hi, that is not implemented yet. The functions in /src/simpy_ejector/refProp.py would need to be implemented with CoolProp or Thermopack etc.

Thanks for replying my questions. It should be great if the ejector's model can be applied for different fluid thermodynamic models since the refProp is not a free package.

Dear @AdamBuruzs,

I stumbled across your ejector model over the past days, and also started looking into TESPy specifically for the modeling of heat pumps. Since TESPy does not have an ejector model as part of the package, maybe simpy_ejector could be included. I started a related discussion here: oemof/tespy#545. TESPy largely uses CoolProp and hence I bring it up here, seconding @minhwvu 's idea of being able to use CoolProp as an alternative to REFPROP.

All the best,
Timo

I am working on a modification, that will enable to use coolprop material library instead of refprop.
