However when I tried to plot the heat transfer coefficient the average value was way below the expected. It&#8217;s giving me an average of 16.67 when it should be around 96. I even calculated it using a surface integral of an area weighted average along the wall and its the same. I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s wrong? Or what to even check&#8230; I was following tutorials online but none showed how to plot the convection heat transfer coefficient so I just did a normal plot after making a line along the wall length to use as a reference for the plot. And then x axis is just the position along the length of the pipe. Any help would be much appreciated&#8230; thanks!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/14-11-2022-1668419107-Screen Shot 2022-11-14 at 13.42.34 PM.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-240655","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-cfd-ansys-1","topic-tag-cfd-post","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-heat-transfer-coefficient"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["267644","22555"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.191"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1264"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["240655"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["22555","267644"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["240814"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["240814"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-11-15 10:21:03"]},"test":"201731147uaeu-ac-ae"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/240655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/240655\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
