Stumbled across this and thougth folks around here might find it of interest and perhaps even useful.

Well, seems it is a lot of work done.

But as my current status reveals that I'm devoted to Science at least so far, I don't like that code. I am not particularly friend of correlations. Also, with exception of the solution of the heat equation inside the wall, there is no mathematical robustness, and I haven't seen what is going on with the flow field which turns out to have a capital importance in the heat transfer. The only thing that I see is modelling the flow are those horrible correlations.
