Optimum hydraulic investigation of pipe aqueduct by MATLAB software and Newton–Raphson method

Abstract

An aqueducts are a water source (the channel that a flowing body of water follows) designed to transport water from a specified point to a point where the designer aims to distribute the water within it. To enhance the hydraulic properties of pipe aqueducts, a workable, efficacious, and convenient method for the optimal design of an aqueduct has been determined in this research article to study the optimum design of pipe aqueduct (finding optimum diameter) and study the effect of design parameters on safe span length by MATLAB Software R2017b and Newton–Raphson method and check the effects of the parameters of design such as the span length (L), discharge (Q), overhead loss (H), inlet and outlet coefficient ( K K 1 & K K 2), etc. Also, this article studies the safe span (L) depending on the optimum value of pipe diameter.
