Thank you sir,

Regarding using HTC or temperature value, I am stuck at one point. 

I have calculated the heat flux, HTC, free stream temperature inside the tube. Now I want to implement HTC at this tubewall:1. 

The confusion is:

1- as per ansys guideline, "A positive value of heat flux implies that heat enters into the domain". does it mean heat enters into tube domain or heat transfer from tube to outside. 

2- My major Concern is to Calculate HTC value due to Condensation Outside Tubewall. If I put the value the of HTC at tubewall:1, is it like implying directly the value which i want to calculate? if yes, then is there any other way around?
