specific heat capacity at constant pressure in CFD Post

newbie384 · March 21, 2014, 23:24

I know that I can see the value of specific heat capacity at constant pressure under material in cfx pre. How can I use the value to create a variable in CFD post? For example, static enthalpy=specific heat capacity at constant pressure * static temperature.

I just could not find it in cfd post. what I did is to assign the value of specific heat capacity at constant pressure by myself in my variable. However, this will give me the wrong unit.

Thank you in advance.

I think I found where to get it. Thanks anyway.

hi, please can you give to me how you calculat the specific heat in cfd post
because i need to see the variation of cp in diffrrete position in the pipe
thx

If you have variable Cp then it should be available as a variable in the puzzlingly labeled "..." button. If not you will have to assign it to a additional variable set to a CEL value, rerun the simulation and then you will have access to it.

thank you very much for yr reply.
I have a cp as fonction of temperature and i solved it with udf in fluent but i can found it in CFD post, and i don't found also the thermal conductivity.
can you please explian me more how i can do it because this is the first that i work with CFD post and i don't really understand your answer.
thank you

If the simulation was done in Fluent I do not know what it does - this is the CFX forum. Try the fluent forum.
