Is there any way you can have some fluid in a container and measure how much energy you need to keep it at certain temperature? one side of the container is insulated, but other sides are open and the surrounding ambient temperature is higher than the fluid temp. If so, how can you stimulate it?
Thanks
Use SOLIDWORKS Flow to analyze what the heatflux is to your fluid. If you know how much heat is coming in, you also need how much heat to take out (cool).
You can define a insulated container by selecting 'adiabatic wall'. And the ambient temperature (and pressure) at the openings can be defined with a 'boundary condition'.
