Info
titleNote to Cornell MAE 4272 Students:

You need to repeat the FLUENT simulation with inputs from YOUR MEASUREMENTS in the lab. To compare the FLUENT results with experiment, you can export the FLUENT result into Excel. A sample comparison is shown below.

You can export the FLUENT data in Excel format by clicking on the Export button in "Details of centerline temperature"

Wall Temperature Plot

We will now plot the temperature variation along the wall. First, create a line corresponding to the wall.

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

You will see Wall created under User Locations and Plots.

Insert > Chart

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

Select the General tab and name the chart "Wall Temperature".

Select Data Series tab. Change the name of the first data 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.
