Problem to give different heat flux values over pipe

SHREEKANT · October 6, 2015, 02:16

I have to give different heat flux values over a pipe with water flow,
the upper portion of pipe that is for 270 deg. i have to give 550W/m2 and for lower 90 deg. 18800 W/m2.
May i please know how to do it? whether i have to define UDF or it can be simply done

hi. can i know if you find a solution to your problem. i has the seam problem my results of heat flux not uniform and this lead to obtained a value of bulk temperature larger than average temperature.can any one help me to know whats wrong in my problem.

Have a read of the DEFINE_PROFILE macro in the UDF manual. Then within your UDF, distinguish between the upper and lower portions of pipe with an if statement.
