Hello everyone,nHere is my question : I would like to calculate the average temperature on a surface at the outlet of my system (it is a quite simple system : a flow of cold air passes through a hot lattice structure and comes out with a temperature difference). I already know how to calculate the temperature at a point (insert point then create a chart with this point as location), but not at a whole surface.nSo is there any solution to this problem ?nThank you very much n

Assuming you are in Fluent , go to Results ->Reports -> Surface Integrals and compute the area weightage average of temperature at the outlet. The figure attached may give you a better understanding of the same.nn

Pretty much, I'd look at mass weighted if you want the fluid material to account for small regions of higher velocity fluid though. n
