hi foamers

i want to use a fixed heat flux boundary condition in a conjugate heat transfer problem i use fixedGradient boundary condition on T ;

bottom
{
type fixedGradient;
gradient uniform 10.417;
}

i know that

heatflux = thermal conductivity (k) * tempreature gradient (dT/dN)

so for k=12 , heatflux=125 w/m2 >> gradient=heatflux/k=10.417

please help me ,, is that right to describe my constant heat flux (125 w/m2) in OpenFOAM ..

thank you very much ..
