Abstract

Paper deals with the model for economic optimization of pipe diameter for complete turbulence. The proposed new model for economic optimization of pipe diameter is based on simple economic balance approach. The model covers the region of complete turbulence (so called rough pipe flow). Final result estimates somewhat different pipe diameter values than the widely cited Genereaux equation for smooth pipe flow.
