Incompressible fluid 

LaTeX Math Inline
body\rho(T, p) = \rho_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

body--uriencoded--u(l) = u_s = \frac%7Bq_s%7D%7BA%7D = \rm const
.

For the constant viscosity
