Incompressible fluid 

LaTeX Math Inline
body\rho(T, p) = \rho_0 s = \rm const
 means that compressibility vanishes 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyc(p) = 0
 and fluid velocity is going to be constant along the pipeline trajectory 
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--u(l) = u_0 s = \frac%7Bq_0%7D%7BA%7D s%7D%7BA%7D = \rm const
.

For the constant viscosity 

LaTeX Math Inline
body\mu(T, p) = \mu_0 s = \rm const
 along the pipeline trajectory the Reynolds number

body--uriencoded--\displaystyle %7B\rm Re%7D = \frac%7B4 \rho_0 s q_0%7D%7Bs%7D%7B\pi d%7D \frac%7B1%7D%7B\mu_0%7D s%7D = \rm const
 and Darcy friction factor 
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--f(%7B\rm Re%7D, \, \epsilon) = f_0 s = \rm const
 are going to be constant along the pipeline trajectory.

Equation

 becomes:

\frac{dp}{dl} = \rho_0s \, g \, \frac{dz}{dl}  - \frac{\rho_0s \, q_0^2s^2 }{2 A^2 d} f_0s

which leads to
