Now let's look at the temperature variation along the center-line of the pipe.  In the experiment, we are only able to measure the temperature at two points. First, at the inlet of the pipe and second, after the adiabatic mixing stage. The simulation can show us the variation of temperate in between these two points.

To create the desired plot:

Insert > Chart 
Enter Please name this chart "Centerline Temperature" as Name. You will see Details of Centerline Temperature appear on the lower left panel. Under General, give Select the General tab and name the chart Title as "Temperature Variation along Pipe Axis".

Now click on Data Series tap to specify the location Moving on, please select the Data Series tab. This tab will help us specify the source of the chart data. Create a new data series .  Change the name from Series 1 to FLUENT. Under Data Source, specify Centerline as Location. specify Centerline as Location. Click Apply. This should result in a plot like:

We would also like to compare verify our simulation result with results, to do this we are comparing to experimental data. Experimental data is can be downloaded here. Download it to the directory that you likea directory of your choice. Now, click a new data series . Name it "Experiment". Under Data Source, select File and browse to for the downloaded experimental data.

Now that we have our data sources, we will proceed by specifying the axes. Starting with the X-axis: 

will specify the X Axis parameter. Click on X Axis tab. Next to Variable, choose X.
