Heat exchanger geometry: It contains multiple flow path at various temperature ( -20, 20, 50, 80 & 100)
Query: While defining material properties in Ansys, do we need to give temperature dependent young modulus, SS-cure for plasticity, thermal coeff. of expansion, thermal conductivity etc? or single room temperature data of material is sufficient?

If single data is enough, how ansys will carry out the calculations at various temperatures?

Hi Mayur,

Please check this KM which discusses about the same.
