toolboxes in matlab/Simulink for rotart compressor

Hi Everybody

I am going to use Matlab/Simulink for simulation of thermodynamic model of rotary compressor my question is which toolboxes is the suitable one to model the thermodynamics model of rotary compressor ? I will use the refprop for fluid properties and ODE equations mostlly.

For simulating the thermodynamic model of a rotary compressor in MATLAB/Simulink, especially when you plan to use REFPROP for fluid properties and solve Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), a combination of toolboxes may be used such as –

• Simscape: For physical modeling outside of the Simulink domain, allowing the creation of custom components and systems in a physical network approach.
• Simscape Fluids: It provides models for hydraulic and pneumatic system components, which are crucial for fluid dynamics in the compressor. Several other blocks/functions which are used for this can also be found in the links below.
