Heat Exchange
 
I need to set up a solar heat exchange. I have a heat box with glass cover. A pipe runs through the box to be heated by solar energy. Water is to be pumped through the pipe to extract the heat. How do I set this up in Ansys Fluent?

i find this question is too general... you should approach it yourself like any modelling problem and ask yourself what the physical mechanisms are that you want to explain. what detail can you neglect and what is essential. break it down and start with the core of the problem and go step by step into complexity. good luck

I want to simulate the effect of the fluid flow rate on the amount of heat absorbed from the heat box. Also, I want to simulate the effect of using different fluids for the systems. These simulations at heat flux of 200 -1,000 W/m2. The heat box is to reduce the heat flow to a chamber below the heat box.
