Pressure Plot

Now let's us look at Create a plot of the pressure variation at along the centerline . We can use the center-line we created earlier.

Next, we will create a chart using this Location data. 
Insert > Chart 
Enter "Axial Pressure" as Name. You will see Details of Axial Pressure appear on the lower left panel. Under General, name the chart "Pressure Variation along Pipe Axis".

Now click on Data Series tap to specify the location of the chart data. Change the name of the first data series from Series 1 to FLUENT. Under Data Source, specify Centerline as Location. The centerline was already created while doing the temperature variation along the center-line. If that chart was skipped please refer to that section on how to create a centerline.

of the pipe. Steps for this are similar to the plot of the centerline temperature that we did earlier.

There is no need to create a new line. We can use the "centerline" created earlier.

Insert > Chart 

Follow steps from the Centerline Temperature plot above, making appropriate modifications. You should see the following plot.

Image AddedOur purpose in this exercise is to study the pressure variation along the length of the pipe. Therefore our chart should show pressure in the y-axis and x-position in the x-axis. In this case, our x-axis variable is x and our y-axis variable is pressure.
