Hi
I try to calculate nusselt number in a pipe with 2.5 cm diameter and 2m long.
my tube have a constant heat flux and i want to calculate local nusselt number along the tube.
I go to XY Plot>Wall fluxes> surface heat transfer coef.
then i multiply D/K with the min of diagram to calculate fully developed nusselt number and it never was 4.36. it is around 0.8 that isn't acceptable.
please help me
thanks

Are you in the laminar flow regime? What are your inlet and outlet conditions?

Flow regim is laminar. inlet is velocity inlet and outlet is pressure outlet.
