OpenFOAM hasn't implemented all possible combinations of thermodynamic options.
You have to first check the list of valid combinations, as implied here: http://www.openfoam.org/version2.2.0....php#x10-40000 - section "Dictionary-based Thermodynamics Selection".

In other words: did you first run the solver with those options in the dictionary file, to confirm if it works?

Hi Bruno
yes that case is finished 10 days before and I'm engaging with making more than 150 plots,and its the thermodynamic dictionary:
Code:
thermoType
{
    type            hePsiThermo;
    mixture         pureMixture;
    transport       const;
    thermo          hConst;//janaf;//
    equationOfState perfectGas;
    specie          specie;
    energy          sensibleEnthalpy;
}
mixture
{
    specie
    {
        nMoles          1;
        molWeight       28.96;
    }
    thermodynamics
    {
     /*Tlow 200;
     Thigh 6000;
     Tcommon 1000;
     highCpCoeffs (3.129672277499967 1.211766752750042e-3 -4.04761109000018e-7 6.409571300000324e-11 -3.780447620000211e-15 -.996955811e3 5.257756413);
     lowCpCoeffs  (3.593868050000014 -8.419292810001117e-4 2.08457592775033e-6 -5.938441825004294e-10 -2.456771699998039e-13 -1.0512181e3 3.140021718);*/
        Cp              1100;
        Hf              2.544e+06;
    }
    transport
    {
       /*As 1.4584e-6;
       Ts 110.4;*/
        mu              0;//1.84e-05
        Pr              0.75;
    }
}
maybe I have converted it by some mistakes.

Hi Ehsan,

Unfortunately OpenFOAM doesn't have the calculation of entropy implemented for the "hConstThermo":
Quote:
From file "$FOAM_SRC/thermophysicalModels/specie/thermo/hConst/hConstThermoI.H":
Code:
template<class equationOfState>
inline Foam::scalar Foam::hConstThermo<equationOfState>::s
(
    const scalar p, const scalar T
) const
{
    notImplemented
    (
        "scalar hConstThermo<equationOfState>::"
        "s(const scalar p, const scalar T) const"
    );
    return T;
}
If you run this command:
Code:
ls -l $FOAM_SRC/thermophysicalModels/specie/thermo
You should see some of the possible options for the "thermo" option.

After looking at the source codes, only the following options have an implemented entropy calculation:
Code:
janaf
hPolynomial
Best regards,
Bruno

many thanks Bruno for consideration and investigation,
when I wanted to run the "inviscid case" because its inviscid,so viscosity had to be 0(constant) then
Code:
transport       const;
had to be set and I wanted to set
Code:
thermo         janaf;// hConst;//
but it didn't accept it according to possible combinations:
Code:
Valid psiThermo types are:

it verifies what you mentioned,it doesn't calculate entropy because its not Janaf and it can't be set for constant transport parameters in ordinary thermodynamical combinations.
