Could not achieve the Constant Velocity?

Rajkool · March 11, 2021, 10:22

Hello all,

I am trying to simulate a simple two-conduit model. It is a straight double pipe with a length of 5 cm. I want to do thermal analysis at a constant velocity and check heat transfer for different velocities. But when I specify velocity inlet and outflow outlet or pressure outlet. There is an increase in the velocity at the outlet. I would like to take the suggestion to solve the issue and achieve the same velocity at the outlet as an inlet.

Thank you in advance

Does the density change with temperature?

Compare the mass flow rate at the inlet to that at the outlet. Only worry about mass imbalance.

Yeah, density has a very slight change and can be ignored. But, in my model phase and velocity being constant is a priority as it is solidified melt.
