Dear Community,

I tried to solve this question, however, I did not manage to get the desired air outlet temperature of 28⁰C. It seems like the heat does not dissipate properly through to the fluid (air). You may refer to my contour on the temperature profile as below.

The question:

    The energy (heat input) from the bottom of the duct is transferred to the air.  Due to the air velocity, much of that energy is convected to the outlet, and a portion is conducted from the bottom to the top.  It seems the problem is asking for the average outlet temperature to be at least 28C (301.15 K) - not that the entire outlet needs to be at least 28C.  The solver appears to behave as expected.

    Check Mass flux averaged temperature in the outlet.
