Internal Channel Flow – Heat Transfer CFD

      Hello, I am doing an internal flow CFD in FLUENT in a hollow rectangular channel. The outer body steel, is a t constant surface temperature of 600K and the interior fluid is water at 300K.

      Firstly, I want to plot the mass-averaged fluid temperature vs the flow axial direction. I have not found a plot option of plotting the surface reports in ANSYS FLUENT.

      Secondly, how can I calculate the heat transfer rate between the wall and fluid in FLUENT.

      Hi, 

      For the second part you can try and go to Reports -> Surface Integrals -> Integral  

      of a Wall Fluxes -> Total Surface Heat Flux.

      Is this what you're after?
