Reply To: Heat transfer at inlets

[sjyang]

 

The manual does not provide equations for convection and diffusion heat transfer at the inlet, but based on my interpretation, could it be represented by the following equations?

In ANSYS Fluent, does convection refer to the energy carried by the fluid as it enters through the inlet (i.e., advection), while diffusion refers to the propagation of energy (heat) through molecular movement according to the temperature gradient (i.e., conduction)?
