Porous chilled beam

stevec4206 · August 24, 2013, 21:21

Hi Guys,
I am in desperate need of help!
I am trying to model a passive chilled beam (essentially a radiator with cool liquid flowing through it)
I am using a porous medium but i'm not sure how to actually generate the heat transfer between the fluid flowing through the beam (porous medium) and the cool beam itself.

I need to generate for instance 600W of cooling over over the 3m beam. and i know the approximate temp of the water flowing through this chilled beam is 15 degrees.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Regards
Steve
