Inlet and outlet flow rate

March 2, 2004, 08:23

My model is to spray water through a nozzle to be in direct contact with a hot air. The calculater of CFX post gave me the following results:

Inlet water mass flow rate is 1.76242 kg/s Inlet air mass flow rate is 0.4454 kg/s

however, Outlet water mass flow rate is -29.808 kg/s outlet air mass flow rate is nearly zero

can you help me about this. Is this result have a meaing (outlet mass flow rate is greater than the inlet). Is there any wrong I did

regards

Hi Neser,

Are you sure the simulation has converged properly? It doesn't sound like it.
