Volumetric heat capacity, constant + Gaussian of T
Presentation
This model defines a volumetric heat capacity ρCp as a constant quantity, taking the energy of phase transition (Curie point, ...) into consideration.
Mathematical model
The volumetric heat capacity is the combination of a constant quantity and a Gaussian function of the temperature.
The corresponding mathematical formula is written:
ρCp = ρCpa +E.Gauss(T) with 
where:
- ρCpa is a constant quantitythe volumetric heat capacity of a material at T = 0 °C (J/m3/°C)
- E is the energy of the phase transition (J/m3)
- σ is the typical Gaussian standard deviation (°C)
- TC is transition temperature (Curie temperature, …) (°C)
The shape of ρCP(T) curve is presented in the figure below.
