How to calculate heat transfer coefficient inside a pipe with constant heat flux by Ansys, using post processing

Thank you

Area average? Plot contours? Make sure you read the https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v212/en/flu_ug/flu_ug_fvdefs.html definitions to understand which reference values are used.

Hello
Distribution of temperature and velocity in r and z directions can be found. We are looking to find mean temperature as a function of z.


Thank you

xy plots on lines will get the local values. For the cross section average you may need to create planes and report on those.

Greetings
Please look at attached figure. Can we add surface heat transfer coefficient and try to plot it on a line on the wall to find variation of heat transfer coefficient as a function of z?
Thank you

Yes, and as it's doable in Fluent there's no need to write any files out other than the standard ones.
