hey guys
i wanna simulate vertical and horizental heat exchanger and compare the thermal efficiency.

the domain is Real water with temp-dependant properties. i don know how to set buoyancy Ref temp, and i don have any idea about it! my inlet is 44c and 1 Lpm, and air flows over heat exchanger with 25c.
how should i set Buoy Ref Temp?

Set the buoyancy reference temperature to a typical temperature in the domain. So if your inlet is 44C then 44C sounds good.
