OPTIMIZATION OF WATER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

Abstract

The present practice of design of wstsr Supply system finds a f+ seible Solution anb3sotsd to, the condition that available pressure head should not be less than a preassigsd vstu. it does not consider other feasible eoluflons and fib the best o k This was z* nZ beosuóebecause of nonlinearity of the problem for which no. etraighttorwnrd • algorithm va le, In the present investigation ► attempt is made to optimize the dedn of water supply syst consisting of pumping m n, slevated balancing reservoir and supply mein* This involvO a method to obtain the design pees like pumping psrtod, starting time of pumps, horse power of the maps,, the pumping head, the diameter of pumping and supply mains, al c . capacity and the staging, of the elevated reservoir,.......
