my model is: the hot-water pipe has small diameter (inner) , and the cold-water pipe has big diameter (outer). the heat tranfer from the hot-water through the steel pipe to the cold-water. boundary condition: (1)fliud1 (hot-water): velocity-inlet(0.1m/s) , outflow , T=640K (2)fliud2 (cold-water): velocity-inlet (0.1m/s), outflow , T=610K (3)solid : steel (4)wall (outside of cold-water pipe ): heat flux=0 because the Re<2300 , the problem is a liminar flow. the model seems no error i think. however, the reslut is dispointed me. the residual is always flat and very large;the cold water flow incorrect. i don't kown why it is , and i guess two reasons: (1) the model set has mistake or (2) fluent is not excellent to simulate this kind of problem which is the soild and fluid heat transfer couping
