Temperature Issue in OpenFOAM-2.2.0
 

Dear Foamers,

I am solving impeller case with compressible effects. I am posting my U, p and T files over here. I am getting very low temperature value at outlet. Due to this issue, Impeller efficiency is not coming correct. Please have a look at it and suggest me whether I am using correct boundary conditons or not. And also I am posting the thermophysical properties also.
