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 The FLUENT result is shown in the sample chart.
You can export the data by click on the Export button in "Details of centerline temperature" |
...
Again in this case, the x-axis is the x-position along the pipe and the y-axis denotes temperature.
This is what you should see The FLUENT result is shown in the Graphics graphics window.
Pressure Plot
Now let's us look at the pressure variation at the centerline. We can use the center-line we created earlier.
...
In this case, our x-axis variable is x and our y-axis variable is pressure.
We want to the chart to be displayed exactly the same way as for wall temperature and centerline temperature plots.
This is what you should see The FLUENT result is shown in the Graphics window.

https://confluence.cornell.edu/download/attachments/111221576/centerline%20pressure.pngThe simulation results follow the experimental data quite closely, the general trend is that pressure decreases (almost linearly) as we move from the inlet towards the outlet of the pipe. 
Axial Velocity Profile
Now, let's investigate the velocity profile at different lengths along the pipe. We are especially interested in the flow development before it enters the heated section. Then please divert your attention to the difference heat addition has on flow development.
