The throhput code, which models transient thermohydraulic heat pipe behavior, is being incorporated into the Caesar computational physics development environment. The Caesar environment provides many beneficial features for enhanced model development, including levelized design, unit testing, Design by Contract~(TM) (Meyer, 1997), and literate programming (Knuth, 1992), in a parallel, object-based manner. The original throhput code was developed as a doctoral thesis research code; the current emphasis is on making a robust, verifiable, documented, component-based production package. Results from the original code are included.
