Let's set up the boundary conditions now. We will first specify our operating conditions.

Boundary Conditions > Operating Conditions...

Enter 98338.2 under Operating Pressure and click OK.

Next we will specify boundary for centerline.

Boundary Conditions > centerline

Change the Type to  axis and click OK.

Now let's set up the heated wall section.

Boundary Conditions > heated_section > Edit...

A new Wall window will open. Click on Thermal tab and enter 3473.9 next to Heat Flux (w/m2) and click OK.

Now let's set the inlet boundary condition.
Boundary Conditions > inlet
Note that the boundary Type is automatically set to velocity-inlet. FLUENT has automatic mechanism to set the boundary condition according to the name you give. So let's click Edit... to set up the correct inlet parameters. A Velocity Inlet window pop out. Enter 25.05 next to Velocity Magnitude (m/s). For Turbulent Kinetic Energy (m2/s2), enter value 0.09. For Turbulent Dissipation Rate (m2/s3), enter value 16. Note that k and epsilon are not measured and are rough guess values. Click OK to close the window.

Finally, set up the outlet boundary condition.
Boundary Conditions > Outlet
Again, proper pressure-outlet boundary Type is set.  Click Edit... to set up appropriate pressure outlet condition. Enter -1112.3 for Gauge Pressure (From experiment, measured outlet pressure is 97225.9 Pa. Corresponding gauge pressure = 97225.9 Pa - reference pressure = -1112.3 Pa)
