Abstract
This chapter presents different types of constitutive models and examples of their application. Constitutive models related to modelling of physical properties are presented. The study deals with creation and solution of property models, parameter estimation, and highlights the application of constitutive models. These examples also illustrate model reuse and incremental modelling issues that are important in model-based studies. In most of these examples, the property (constitutive) models are analyzed with respect to their numerical solution. This aids in developing the constitutive property models needed to study the evaporation of a chemical from a water droplet. The models are identified in terms of estimating their parameter values by matching a set of collected property-related data. These identified models are used within the framework of an evaporation model. Other examples of parameter estimation involving solid–liquid data and electrolyte systems are also provided. Finally, the use of constitutive (kinetic) models to generate attainable region diagrams is highlighted. This is similar, in principle, to the use of constitutive (property) models to generate phase equilibrium diagrams for chemical systems.
