A fluid flows through a pipe with radius 0.06 meters at 0.1 m/s. The fluid has a density of 1.2 kg/m^3, a thermal conductivity of 0.02 W/mK, a specific heat of 1000 J/kgK, and a viscosity of 1.8e-5 kg/ms. The first 5.76 meters of the pipe are isothermal, held at 300 K. The remaining 2.88 meters of the pipe have a constant heat flux of 37.5 W/m^2.

A pipe flow with convection is a boundary value problem. The boundary condition and the governing equations are shown below:
S_h is the source term in the energy equation and is equal to zero in this study.
Using ANSYS Workbench, simulate the above problem and graph the temperature along the axis of the pipe and the temperature distribution at the outlet.
