Hi, thanks for the great work. I have a question though: - I got a similar result as you did, using the following formula: h = Q / (Area * (T2 - T1) - However, when I use Fluent's own result functionality, I got a totally different result. I use the following: Area-weighted average -> Wall Fluxes -> Surface heat transfer coefficient Why Fluent's own result component is so different? Do you have any experience with that? or, why did you have to calculate the nusselt number in EES, instead of using Fluent's "Surface Nusselt Number" result component?
Good question!!! In fluent the the bulk mean temperature of fluid is taken from the reference value tab. Fluent is not calculating the bulk mean temperature of fluid to calculate Nusselt number. So its better calculate as per definition of Nusselt number...the bulk mean fluid temp as mass weighted fluid temperature and wall temp as avg wall temp and take difference
Very good

@@mechanical_simulation_analysis Thank you so much! I updated the reference values and now the values are correct 🙂
Good job, Can you share with me EES file.
Thanks

Sir please can you share the EES file with me ... I want it for my project.. please sir..
Can you please share your email id
