Wall Temperature Plot

We will now investigate plot the temperature variation along the wall. To do this we need to First, create a new line on the simulation. It needs to be a horizontal line correponding line corresponding to the wall.

Insert > Location > Line

Please name this line Name it "Wall"  (with capital W; otherwise you'll get a conflict with a reserved name). On the lower left panel, you will see Details of Wall. Enter the following coordinates.

Point 1 (0,0.0294,0)

Point 2 (6.045,0.0294,0)

Again 50 for the sample size

start and end locations of the line and the sampling frequency. Click Apply.

Image Added

Click Apply. You will see wall created under User Locations and Plots.

Next, we will repeat the previous process, but using this new line as source data. 
Insert > Chart

Name this chart "Wall Temperature". You will see Details of Wall Temperature appear on the lower left panel.

Select the Under General tab , please and name the chart "Wall Temperature".

Now click on Select Data Series tab to specify the location of the chart data. Change the name of the first data series from Series 1 to series to FLUENT. Under Data Source, specify Wall as Location.

As before, specify x-axis variable to be X (i.e. axial length along the pipe).

Specify y-axis variable to be Temperature. Click Apply. You should see the following plot.

Info
titleNote to Cornell MAE 4272 Students:

You need to repeat the FLUENT simulation with inputs from YOUR MEASUREMENTS in the lab and compare the FLUENT results with experiment. A sample comparison is shown below.

You can export the data by clicking on the Export button, as shown in the previous step.
