Does massFlowAve in functions of CFD Post same as Mass Weighted Average in Fluent?

04 April 2018 0 6K Report

Dear all,

I want to calculate bulk temperature of convective heat transfer in pipe by Using Ansys FLUENT 17.2. I plot the value of this temperature by using massFlowAve which is available at CFD-Post. Some papers use Mass Weighted Average to calculate bulk temperature. Is it Ok If I assume that massFlowAve is the same as Mass Weighted Average to calculate bulk temperature?

Thank you
