Reference Value for enthalpy in ANSYS Fluent

      I am running a heated pipe flow simulation. I impose a cp property through a set of piecewise linear profile.

      How is the reference enthalpy calculated? In Reference Values, enthalpy is shown as negative for a reference temperature mentioned at inlet.

      There's a reference temperature for phase change in the material properties. For the boundary it's against 298.15K, there is a value set in the Reference Values, but I'd need to check if that also effects the flux reports: try it and let the Forum know.
