Abstract |
: |
The present study focuses on developing a cost
function for pump-pipelines system with emitters randomly
distributed along the pipelines. The objective function is based on
the capital cost of the piping system, pumps and the cost of energy
required to operate the system. Employing the least annual cost
principle to obtain the optimal diameter of each pipe leads to a
nonlinear system of equations. A solution procedure based on an
iterative scheme is proposed and examined for three case studies.
The first case is a three-parallel pipeline system with 12 emitters.
The second case is a two-pipeline system of the actual irrigation
network at King Abdulaziz University Campus, with 26 emitters.
A single pipeline 5.8-kIn long with three draw-off points is the
third case study. |
