Hi everyone,
I have been working on a laminar compressible microtube flow analysis (supercritical fluid). Mass flow inlet, pressure outlet and constant wall heat flux boundary conditions are applied to the circular microtube (0.5 mm diameter). I get fluid properties by using CFD Post and there is a mistake at CFD Post total pressure results (it was used areaAverage at related cross-section plane) as can be seen on below figure. In addition, theoretical total pressures are calculated by using momentum equation between two control surfaces (the related values (density, velocity etc.) were taken from numerical solution). We are also suspicious about getting this mistaken result due to operating pressure condition which is 101.325 kPa. I would like to grateful if you could share your recommendations.
