How can I consider the changing temperature of a copper object that is being cooled by coiling a pipe around the outside surface?

Hi,
It looks like many of the heat exchangers offered in simscape require another fluid or gas. So that doesnt quite get the job done. I'm currently using a Pipe (TL) with convection, conduction, and a Temperature Source (see image). The temperature source provides a constant outside temperature but I need to model the changing temperature of the object.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The heat transfer between solid objects are best represented by conductive components and thermal mass. I suspect the thermal mass is what's missing right now.
Also, note that the pipe component has a convection wall model for heat transfer inside. So the pip "wall" temperature may not be the fluid temperature. The conductive heat transfer you have there will add onto the existing correlation. Just to make sure you are aware.
