enthalpy at outlet

edited January 2023 in Community Q&A

Hi experts,

I want to extract the value of enthalpy at outlet of the following domain. I could check it using hyperview but I want it to be extracted using UDF.

Do you think it is possible?

Is it possible using acuTrans?

Thanks!

    How are you viewing enthalpy in HyperView?  I don't see enthalpy as a 'standard' available variable.  If you're calculating enthalpy from other variables, you would need to do the same type of calculation in the user function.

    Oh, sorry. It was another parameter. But, is it possible to calculate enthalpy using the extracted data from the UDF or acuTrans?

    Actually, I want to implement this in acusolve. I can extract the temperature and velocity at inlets and outlets. Do you have any idea about extracting Peclet number?

    Thanks!

    You'll need to calculate that using the other basic variables/quantities you can extract.

    You can simply apply mc(To-Ti) in the cold and hot domains right? 

    You can also take UA∆T in account if you have specified convection coefficient in the outer surfaces.

    Thanks for the suggestion!
