Hi , <\/p>\n

I am concerned mainly about the shell side flow and I would like to model the tubes as solid cylinders with a fixed wall temperature of 450K I would like to know how can i acheive this ( coupled interfaces among the solid and the shell fluid volume has been made ) <\/p>\n

This is how i did it but i am not sure about my approach ( shell side I need fluid and tube side as a solid cylinder ) <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The interfaces are left as coupled ( wall , wall – shadow , src , trg ) <\/li>\n
  2. Cell zone allocation change to solid for the tubes <\/li>\n
  3. Temperature of 450K given to the inlet and outlet ( my thinking is that due to perfect conduction the walls will also be at 450K i need the wall of the tube to be at 450K . <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I would also like to know if I can take the approach of just assigning a fixed wall temperature to the tube side (basically a hollow cylinder so that the wall adjacent to the shell is kept at 450K)<\/p>\n

    Thanks in advance , <\/p>\n
