Tutorial - Adapt oxide composition of OPC clinker

Description

Calculate the hydrates assemblage and pore water composition of the hydration of 100 g CEM-I with a water/cement ratio of 0.5 and at a temperature of 25°C with the oxide composition as defined in Table 4 in Glosser et al. (2021).

You will learn to

Add a new clinker oxide composition of OPC to a datablock

Tutorial - Calculate the cement hydrates assemblage and pore water composition

Step 1 – Add the oxide clinker composition to the datablock

Open the simulation that was created in Tutorial Calculate the cement hydrates assemblage and pore water composition via the Project Manager or via the drop down list of previously opened simulations.

Go to Global Definitions

Go to Datablock

Select the data block OPC

The selected data block appears in the bottom panel – new records/row can be added.

Add a new record at the bottom of the table  

       Give a name (e.g., GLO2021)

       Add the oxide composition

Step 2 – Select, Run and Output

Go to Global Variables

Go to Cement Recipe tab

Select GLO2021 in drop down menu of the Cement::Clinker::Reference$ record

Run the problem

Check output.
