I specify a interior volume(which represents heatexchanger, regarded as air fluid) as "source term", and define the right heat exchange rate as *** w/(m3). after convorge, I look at the energy banlance, but the air temperature increase is not so high as expected, only about half increase? then where is the problem? thank you very much.
