ESATAN Developments
Two-phase quasi-transient solver– FGENFI extended to handle quasi-transient
• P & W assumed steady state
– Selected as an option via QTRSOL (=YES || NO)– Need for pressure boundary removed
• Assumes fixed fluid mass within loop• Mass initialised at start of each time step
– Significant speed improvements seen

ESATAN Developments
– Definition can take the form of,• a constant• interpolation (1D, 2D or fixed interval)• procedure (FORTRAN + reserved variables PROPL, …)
– No difference between system and user properties– Easy to add new or modify system properties
– Similar approach proposed for def’n of htc’s– Additional condensation correlations provided
