Thermal_engg Member Prateek Anand Join Date: Nov 2012 Posts: 34 Rep Power: 13	Hey all, I have a constant temperature boundary condition on a pipe. I need to calculate surface heat transfer coefficient for finding Nusselt no. at different values of x(x is the coordinate along the length of the tube). One way is to provide reference values in fluent.But I am getting both +ve and -ve values of 'h' on doing that,which is certainly wrong. Can anyone help me out here? Thanx. varunsclt likes this.
