Reply To: Heat transfer simulation with convection film coefficient as a result

A simplification can be to use an arbitrarily large value for tbulk so that "deltaT" doesn't affect the heat flow.  Another simplification can be to convect to a thermal mass so that the change in enthalpy of the mass is a measure of total heat flow.  These still don't seem to give you a way to control the total heat flow.  Perhaps you could iterate on the solution in a *do loop.  I'm not a Fluent user, but if the flow solution is already done, it doesn't seem any easier to use Fluent.
