design. First a range of internal diameters is input to the computer code to get a series of internal diameter distributions. Each is consistent with minimum cost for a given pumping work. For each internal diameter distribution, a range of insulation thickness distributions is generated. The system heat loss can then be calculated. The total system cost, including the dollar value of transport losses, is calculated for each point, and the least costly system is selected from this two by two matrix. 7.1.1 Computation: Internal Diameter Pipe Network Optimum Distribution The pressure drop through a section of straight pipe is
