Fluid properties in MKS units are as follows:

Fluid Material Properties
Thermal Conductivity1.00E-16
Specific Heat2.26E+3

The convection coefficients, inflow temperatures, and mass flow rates are specified. The heat transfer from the blade to the coolant is proportional to the film coefficient, and the temperature rise in the fluid is inversely proportional to the mass flow rate.
