Heat Pulse - Laminar Flow

Hi,
I have a relatively simple problem; however, I'm finding it hard to find the solution.
I have laminar flow in a pipe and want to have a pulse of heat at the inlet for 0.5 seconds, I then want to monitor this pulse for ten seconds with the pulse switched off.
I can not find a way to generate this pulse and have tried to do this through generating a pulse in definitions; however, am not able to implement this after into the heat transfer in fluids physics.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thomas,
You may use a rectangular function.
1) Go to model1 -> definition -> functions -> rectangle
change the lower and upper limits as you desire (i.e. 0 s and 0.5 s).
2) Define a heat flux at the inlet as: Q_inlet*rect1(t[1/s])
To monitor the outlet, you may integrate the total heat flux (ht.ntflux) at the outlet after you solved the problem and plot it with time.
