Dear Foamers,

I have a question regarding the reference class for calculating the phase transition solidificationMeltingSource

I've read the source code, but I still don't understand how the heat capacity determination works. Is it possible to enter the heat capacity corresponding to the solid phase? Is the CpRef parameter responsible for this?
