heat transfer boundary condition??

smshin · February 15, 2019, 05:44

In the heat exchanger, the same boundary condition is applied to the low temperature channel and the lower high temperature channel. However, as shown in the figure, there is a phenomenon in which heat is transferred to the solid only in the middle channel and heat is not transferred in the low temperature channel. I do not know what the problem is.
Is it a mesh problem?

I do not understand what you are doing. Please describe it more and post your output file.

Check your boundary conditions at the interfaces between the solid and the low temperature channels
