[EnergyPlus_Support] Non air fluid in zone



Off the wall question.

Can energy plus model a non-air fluid within a zone?

We could model with air but the specific heat capacity of our working fluid is much higher than the 1.004 kJ/kg K of air so would give screwy results?

We could do something strange with thermal mass in the zone but the surface convection terms/coefficients air to thermal mass might cause problems?

Any sugestions?

For the interested am trying to simulate a tank of tallow!
