Coolant dialog-Properties tab

The Properties tab of the Coolant dialog is used to specify the physical properties of the coolant and to view or edit the coefficients for the coolant viscosity model.

Dialog element	Explanation
Coolant density	Specifies the density of the coolant at room temperature. The values (0:3) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter.
Coolant specific heat	Specifies the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of coolant by 1°C. The numbers (0:10000) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter.
Coolant thermal conductivity	Specifies the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit length per degrees Celsius, and so it has the units of W/m°C. It is essentially a measure of the rate at which a coolant can dissipate heat. The numbers (0:10) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter.
Coolant viscosity	Specifies the data-fitted values for the coefficients in the coolant viscosity model. The numbers (1e-007:0.1), (0:2.0027e+005), (0:5273.1) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter for c1, c2, and c3 respectively.
