<p>Hi, Thank you sincerely for the detailed explanation:)<\/p><p><\/p><p><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Open Sans’; color: black;”>(<\/span><span style=”font-family: ‘Open Sans’; color: black;”>https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v201\/en\/flu_ug\/flu_ug_sec_hxfer_report.html%23×1-110100014.4.1<\/a><\/span><span style=”font-family: ‘Open Sans’; color: black;”>)<\/span><\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p>However, as per the above manual, I understand that by using the ‘Surface Integrals’, choosing ‘Flow Rate’ for the ‘Report Type’, and selecting ‘Enthalpy’ (under the Temperature category), <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>the convective heat flux can be calculated.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p>In the attached image below, I have listed the values for the Total Heat Transfer Rate calculated in the Fluxes section and the Enthalpy Flow Rate calculated in the Surface Integrals section at the inlet and outlet.
