Hi I am currently designing a pipe system where heat is applied to the exterior of the pipe, which in terms heat the inside water. Is there a way so that the output temperature becomes the input temperature for the next design points in paramaterization? I am doing this so that the mesh remains great and constant, instead of varying the length. Is there a way to do it with parameters or expressions inside Fluent please? Thanking you in advance.

Profiles can be used to transfer the data from one model to another, but in this case you'll need to take care to adjust the position of the profile: ie the x, y, and z coordinates will need adjusting. 

Periodic flow is another consideration, please read the limitations in both flow and energy sections of the Fluent User's Guide.
