Question: Fluid from a large reservoir at temperature to flows into a circular pipe of radius R. The pipe walls are wound with an electric-resistance coil

Fluid from a large reservoir at temperature to flows into a circular pipe of radius R. The pipe walls are wound with an electric-resistance coil which delivers heat to the fluid at a rate qw (energy per unit wall area). If we wish to analyze this problem by using the full continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations, what are the proper boundary conditions for the analysis?
