Abstract

The graphical method for determining optimum conditions based on piping and pumping system. As an example, consider the case where was made calculation of the optimum pipe diameter necessary to handle a given flow, fluid density and viscosity, cost of electricity and efficiency of pump as a pumping cost. However for considering piping cost authors have developed optimization procedure for turbulent flow of conduit size by using pipe density and wall thickness which can be determined by piping specification.
