Chapter 1. Introduction<br />

• Modeling <strong>of</strong> a solar thermal steam power plant, [Tummescheit <strong>and</strong><br />

Pitz-Paal, 1997].<br />

• Combustion engine modeling at Ford Motor Company [Tiller et al.,<br />

2000].<br />

• Fuel cell system modeling in collaboration with United Technologies<br />

Research, UTRC.<br />

• Refrigeration cycles, especially evaporators [Jensen <strong>and</strong> Tummescheit,<br />

2002] in collaboration with DTU 5 <strong>and</strong> UTRC.<br />

• Modeling <strong>of</strong> steam networks for a paper plant in collaboration with<br />

Solvina AB, [Lindstr<strong>and</strong>, 2002].<br />

This interaction was important to make sure that language <strong>and</strong> library<br />

design were in accordance with real industrial needs. The fuel cell systems<br />

library developed at UTRC is an application that was not included in<br />

the intended use <strong>of</strong> the ThermoFluid library in its first design iteration,<br />

but is now the largest application library built on top <strong>of</strong> ThermoFluid.<br />

The object-oriented design has proven flexible enough to add chemical<br />

reactions, membrane diffusion <strong>and</strong> electrochemistry to the existing library<br />

<strong>and</strong> still make optimal use <strong>of</strong> the existing code base.<br />
