At steady state the water will take all the heat from the plate and increase the temperature overall.

But, if you want a smartish idiot point of view on this subject, I do not see how a steady flow can take all the heat from the plate, what am I missing? Wouldn’t just some of the heat be transferred? Or is heat flux just a rate of transfer?
I have got a possible solution for this problem and I want likes on my contest projects in return .(just joking)
The DENSITY RANGE in Numerics has to be changed to get the correct answer. @jousefm why doesn’t the density range changes automatically as we change the fluid material? It would be great if that is implemented.
@anirudh2821998 can you check the average temperature of the exit fluid for me real quick? Assuming your inlet is at 293\,\text K, the outlet should average 304\,\text K.
I hope this is all it is because I spent hours last night trying to figure it out.
I just set up an area average in SimScale. It’s all good though, I reran my own sim with the change this morning and got 305\, \text K which is close enough.
Hi @DaleKramer
The calculations done by @LWhitson2 made it easy for me to find the parameter that was messing this simulation. In these equations, instead of focusing on the velocity and temp boundary conditions, I focused on the density term(as the outlet temperature was very high, it can be due to a wrong density value, which was set at 2.72kg/m^3, while we required it to be around 997kg/m^3). I checked the density contour from the previous results and found the value to be wrong(you know the rest of the story ).
