Hi,
Case Set up looks OK, Only thought is if you have captured Heater solid as well, It is better to use volumetric heat source since energy source applied to solids through electric energy.Â
For steady Vs Transient, it depends on what you would like to see as output. Meaning If you want to see temp rise in water wrt time then transient is the only option. If your objective is to see Water temp at outlet after steady state is achieved then you can use steady state simulation
