This study investigates the peculiarities of the phase transition under conditions of viscous liquid pressure flow inside a pipe of circular cross section and of infinite length where there exists a given pressure gradient and a given flow rate. Either a constant temperature or a constant thermal flow is applied to the wall of the pipe. It was shown that in all ranges of the parameters for the problem, a steady-state solution is achieved. Steady-state temperature and velocity profiles are determined. The peculiarities of flow for a given flow rate are analyzed. For a given thermal flow on the wall of the pipe it is possible to have flow without the solid phase. The flow rate and pressure characteristics are obtained, and the effect of phase transition is discussed.
