tex - 如何打开.tex文件？

Question

我正在尝试打开.tex文件。

我不确定我是否已经深入到了(可能)令人惊讶的复杂过程。有人告诉我可以用Notepad++做到这一点，然后继续下载。结果如下:

\abstract{
The physical modelling and transient simulation of
refrigeration systems can be useful within the specification,
development, integration and optimisation.
Therefore, a model library for vapour compression cycles has been implemented.
The library is based on the free Modelica library ThermoFluid and contains basic correlations for
heat and mass transfer and pressure drop, partial components for control volumes and
flow resistances and advanced ready-to-use models for all relevant
components of refrigeration systems like pipes, heat exchangers,
compressor, expansion devices and accumulator.

\section{Introduction}

The modeling and simulation of refrigeration systems is of interest 
for several problems:

\section{Library for refrigeration systems}

The aim of the modelling is to implement a library with physical based
models of components of refrigeration systems. At the moment the
library enables investigations with two refrigerants (CO$_2$, R134a). But
the realised structure allows the extension of the library by other
refrigerants.

\subsection{ThermoFluid library}

The implemented refrigeration library is based on the free Modelica library ThermoFluid
\cite{eborn}, \cite{tum}, \cite{thermofluid}. The
ThermoFluid library, especially its base classes and partial
components, offers a good base for the modelling of refrigeration systems with
respect to the implementation of the three balance equations and the
method of discretisation. 

\section{Transient simulation of a CO$_2$-system}

In the following, results of the transient simulation of the above mentioned CO$_2$-system are presented.
The results are compared with data of a start up of the
system and following step changes in compressor speed as shown in
Figure \ref{fig5}.

在我看来，这不是查看文档的正确方法。有人可以让我知道我是否正确，如果可以，我如何正确查看文档？

Answer 1

.tex文件应该是LaTeX源文件。

在这种情况下，该文件包含LaTeX文档的源代码。您可以使用任何文本编辑器打开它(记事本，notepad++应该可用)，并且可以查看源代码。但是，如果要查看最终格式化的文档，则需要安装LaTeX发行版并编译.tex文件。

当然，任何程序都可以写入具有任何扩展名的任何文件，因此，如果这不是LaTeX文档，那么我们就无法知道您需要安装哪种软件才能打开它。也许如果您将文件上传到某个地方并在问题中链接到我们，我们可以看到该文件并为您提供更多帮助。

是的，这是LaTeX文档的源代码。如果您能够将其粘贴到此处，那么您已经在查看它。如果要查看已编译的文档，则需要安装LaTeX发行版。您可以尝试安装MiKTeX，然后将其用于将文档编译为.pdf文件。

您还可以查看此问题并回答如何做:How to compile a LaTeX document?

另外，还有一个在线LaTeX编辑器，您可以在其中粘贴代码以预览文档:https://www.overleaf.com/。
