Linear Programming Analysis of Branched Pipe Network.

摘要

The linear programming technique was applied to design an existing water conveyance project--The Shamrock Irrigation Project. An analytical method was developed to obtain a solution which is an adequate approximation to the solution found by linear programming. The analytical method enables the design engineer to select appropriate size of a complex branched pipe network without using the computer. The application of both methods to the Shamrock Irrigation Project was presented for comparison.
