The
Flux Reports dialog box allows you to compute the mass flow rate, heat transfer rate, and radiation heat transfer rate on selected boundary zones. See Section
30.3 for details.
Controls
Options
contains the following radio buttons:
Mass Flow Rate
turns on the computation of the mass flow rate for the selected boundary zones.
Total Heat Transfer Rate
turns on the computation of the total heat transfer rate for the selected boundary zones.
Total Sensible Heat Transfer Rate
turns on the computation of the total sensible heat transfer rate for the selected boundary zones. It reports the total energy flux as defined in
this equation in the separate
Theory Guide.
Radiation Heat Transfer Rate
turns on the computation of the radiation heat transfer rate for the selected boundary zones.
Boundary Types
contains a selectable list of types of boundary zones. If you select (or deselect) an item in this list, all zones of that type will be selected (or deselected) automatically in the
Boundaries list.
Boundary Name Pattern
specifies the pattern to look for in the names of boundary zones. Type the pattern in the text field and click
Match to select (or deselect) the zones in the
Boundaries list with names that match the specified pattern. See Section
30.3.1 for information about matching additional characters using
* and
?.
Boundaries
contains a selectable list of valid boundary zones for flux reporting.
Results
displays the results of the selected flux computation for each boundary zone selected. The summation of the individual zone flux results is displayed in the box below the
Results list.
Compute
computes the flux for each of the selected boundary zones and updates the
Heat of Reaction Source and
Net Results (e.g., in kg/s, W, etc.).
Write...
opens the
Select File dialog box (see Section
2.1.6) (Section
2.1.6 and Section
2.1.6), which you can use to save the reported values to a file.
