Hello

I am relatively new to FLUENT. I have a very basic question to ask.
I am running a simulation which involves a varying specific heat to incorporate the latent heat.
My UDF is as follows:
DEFINE_SPECIFIC_HEAT(my_specific_heat, T,Tref,h,yi)
{
real cp;

if (T>1363.)
{
cp=23550.;
}
else if (T < 1383.)
{
cp=23550.;
}
else
{
cp=1050;
}
*h=cp*(T-Tref);
return cp;
}

I wanted to know where I can set the reference temperature? The manual says it can be set in the Materials panel. However, I do not see the option for reference temperature there. Would I have to activate a model so that I can set the reference temperature? Is there any other way I can set it?

On the fluent interface, there must be a tab "reference values" on the left side. You can change the temperature using that.
