| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to find t he e conomicaltlow
velocity in a water distribution system. The economical flow
velocity in the pipe line depends on the roughness
coefficient, energy cost , construction cost and present
worth factor. A theoretical study was done to study the
influence of above factors on economical flow velocity. When
the system consists of a single pipe and a p ump the
ec onomical flow velocity uoes b~ar a definite relation to
tha diameter for a given set of costs. b ut in a distribution
system , economical flow velocity depends on the hyd raulics
of the networK a lso.
Statistical analysis was done to study the distribution
of economical f low velocity tor each diameter and Kolmogorov
- Smirnov test was used to test the goodness of fit. |
