chinna is on a distinguished road
Hai, im simulating transient heat exchanger inside storage tank by Fluent 14.0. when i record solution activity, the temperature contour somehow not as i expected. im not sure how to solve it.
as the time runs, the heat should spread around the storage tank right but in my case, it`s only spread around the tube. thats how the temperature contour shows.
the hot flow inside the tube - 373k (flow rate 1kg/s)
tank water - 300k
i coupled the interfaces of both domain.
could it be initialization problem..?? please help me...
