I am not able to find the "Non - Isothermal Pipe flow" module in my COMSOL 4.3a version. Can you help me out how to find it??

If not, I request you to help me with any method for simulating a pipe flow using "Non-Isothermal flow"? Thank you in advance...

Non-isothermal pipe flow is only in the Pipe Flow Module. If you can't see it then you probably don't have that module.

Can I simulate the flow through pipes with the normal Non-Isothermal Flow??

Hi Nithin,

Yes you can. You just have to do it using a 3D model, or a 2D axisymmetric pipe model if possible. The pipe module allows a 1D model. In many cases, such as short pipe where the flow is not fully developed, the 1D model is not suitable and there is no substitute for the 3D/2D model.
