calculating area weighted average heat transfer coefficient at wall

wassli · April 14, 2017, 07:34

Hi everyone,
i want to calculated area weighted average heat transfer coefficient at wall. so how does star calculates it in background, i mean want to bulk bulk temperature in reference values to according to which it should calculated heat transfer coefficient for me...
so i don't know where to give the bulk temperature... Or it calculates bulk temperature automatically and then give result...

i am confused about the heat transfer coefficient that Star reports and want to confirm that does it actually takes the bulk temperatures automatically and then gives the heat transfer coefficient because this is not the case in fluent. i.e. we have to compute bulk temperature first and then put in reference values and then get area weighted average heat transfer coefficient.
