You need to repeat the simulation with inputs from YOUR MEASUREMENTS in the lab. Then you can export the FLUENT result into Excel and compare the FLUENT result with experiments. Here is a sample chart. |
Wall Temperature Plot
We will now investigate the temperature variation along the wall. To do this we need to create a new line on the simulation. It needs to be a horizontal line correponding to the wall.
...
Again 50 for the sample size
Click Apply.
You will see wall created under User Locations and Plots.

As before, we would also like to compare our simulation result with experimental data. Experimental data can be downloaded here. Now, click a new data series 
. Name it Experiment. Under Data Source, select File and browse for the downloaded experimental data.
!data series|width=350!
Again in this case, the x-axis is the x-position along the pipe and the y-axis denotes temperature.
As previously shown, we will specify how the chart should be displayed. The default setting is to display the data series in lines. Since we only have a few experimental points, we want them to be displayed in data points. Click on Line Display. Then click on experimental tab. Next to Line Style, change Automatic to None. Next to Symbols, change None to Diamond. Change the color to red. Click Apply.
