I added a constant heat flow source to the pipe but I couldn't see any temperature increase to the fluid which flows

4 views (last 30 days)
I have added the necessary inputs that I have given to each block in the image attached. Basically, I need to model the heat transfer from the motor to the heat exchanger which i just replaced to a pipe with a constant heat flow source (which will represent the cooling power needed) . For the above mentioned objecvtive, suggest me if you have better solutions and ideas and also if you could help me understand why this solution doesn't work and how to fix it that would be great.

This should work fine. This is how heat is added to the coolant in some examples in the Documentation as well, like Electric Vehicle Thermal Management. Snapshot below:
