Using ExternalMedia to access RefProp via CoolProp about externalmedia

[jowr]

The latest release of ExternalMedia helped with this problem, but there are still a few things that do not work with REFPROP. Sorry.

Thanks, Jorrit. Please excuse my misunderstanding of the source of the problem.

I have a similar problem when using Dymola 2022x.
I tested both the master branch with Modelica 3.3.1 as well as v4-dev with Modelica 4.0.0 and could run
Test.CO2.TestStatesSupercritical sucessfully with a compiled STATIC Library of External Media (made with cmake and VS2019).
However, when I change the substance name in
Examples.CO2CoolProp to
substanceNames = {"REFPROP-CO2"}

I get the following error in both cases:
calc_first_saturation_deriv is not implemented for this backend

I have installed RefProp 10 on my computer under C:/program files/REFPROP. (I successfully used this REFPROP installation with older external media version under Dymola 2019).

We are currently working to solve several issues with the dynamic/shared library, see #50. As soon as that thing is stabilized, we can get back to this issue.

I had the same problem.

I have made some changes on the ExternalMedia library, and it works now for me, with MSL4.0, vs 2019, and dymola 2023. The ThermoCycle library works as well. I have placed the codes with the below link. Hopes it helps.

I hope that your question is solved @patrick-fourspring-nnl, as I have made several tests.

@patrick-fourspring-nnl we have now fixed a lot of issues with ExternalMedia, and we're going to release 3.3.2 and 4.0.0 anytime soon. I'm not sure about the REFPROP interface, because I don't have it installed on my PC so I can't test that.

I tested today, with the release v4.0.0 and RefProp 10, and below code works for me on Windows 11.

  package Medium
    extends ExternalMedia.Media.CoolPropMedium(
      mediumName = "REFPROP::Pentane",
      substanceNames = {"n-Pentane"},
      inputChoice=ExternalMedia.Common.InputChoice.ph);
  end Medium;

I tested again today, and this is the new model:

  package Medium
    extends ExternalMedia.Media.CoolPropMedium(
      mediumName = "Pentane any string can go here",
      substanceNames = {"REFPROP::Pentane"},
      inputChoice=ExternalMedia.Common.InputChoice.ph);
  end Medium;

in mediumName, you can put whatever descriptive string you like, but substanceName is where you would have to put the REFPROP:: thing, and if you put it there, it gives an error message:

Error: The following error was detected at time: 0
ExternalMedia error: calc_first_saturation_deriv is not implemented for this backend
The stack of functions is:
ExternalMedia.Examples.CO2CoolPropRefProp.setSat_T_Unique32
ExternalMedia.Examples.CO2CoolPropRefProp.setSat_T_Unique32(T2)
