We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Nick FL,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
When I simulated only water, in the output condition I activated the "Prevent reverse flow" option, for some reflux cases, that way my mass balance gives good results. However, when I use the multiphase model to deal with nanofluids I am not presented with that option.
So if I extend the tube at the outlet, would that improve my temperature gradient and my mass balance? I will try it!
I will also check the velocity vectors at the outlet to see if they are consistent.
Thanks again.
