Reply To: Temperature in mixture multiphase

We only need formation enthalpy etc when looking at chemical reactions (so we know how hot it’s going to get) and phase change (but we only need the latent heat). Otherwise, we’re just solving the Q=m cp dT to see how much energy is needed to make it hotter. 

To add, if you're checking heat flux in/out of the domain we use the above to account for hot/cold material flowing in/out of the model: it's often non-zero on the inlet and outlet because of the hard coded reference temperature.
