Default Constant heat flux with uniform temperature

I am using Fluent to model heat transfer for flow inside a channel with constant heat flux boundary condition. Is there a way to impose a uniform wall temperature around the periphery (i.e. uniform wall temperature distribution in each cross-section) at the same time? I have tried giving the wall material a very high thermal conductivity (1e38) but there is still significant temperature variation in the wall periphery. Thanks, Jake

cdf_user is on a distinguished road
your heat transfer concepts are wrong. Read internal flows chapter form heat transfer incropera. if you specify a constant heat flux to the wall of the wall, the temperature of the wall HAS to change and CANNOT be constant along the direction of the flow.
