How determine total heat transferred to fluid?

Biji.Goli · April 7, 2017, 10:18

Hi.
I want to calculate heat transfer from 2 concentric cylinders. Water flows inside the internal cylinder and there is alcohol with higher temperature flows in outer cylinder. The problem is transient and i want to calculate the total heat that transferred from alcohol to water over 1000 seconds. In reports i can see heat flux (watt) but i want integral of heat flux over time.
So please is there any way to calculate this in fluent ?
Thank you

Dear arash509,
You can go to

Reports >> Fluxes >> Total Heat Transfer Rate
Select the walls in which you want to calculate heat transfer
Press compute button

Hope this helps
