I am currently working on a model that uses the Heat Transfer in Fluids module in the lower domain to simulate the performance of a Metal Hydride that is absorbing heat by a given reaction.
The part of the model which only includes that portion works fine (Heat transfer in fluids and the 3 PDE expressions), the issue is Domain 2, the upper domain which is set to be air flowing over the Metal Hydride Bed and gain/lose heat based on the direction of the chemical reaction. The issue is getting the two domains to interact over the boundary where they interact. Right now the top domain is using a conjugate heat transfer function to simulate the air flowing over and heating up, but I can't seem to find the right boundary condition to get these two domains to interact.
Any suggestions?
