چکیده
This paper deals with the cost optimization of a pipe network using the technique of Genetic Algorithm. The software used for this purpose is WaterGEMS. Genetic Algorithm uses various factors for optimizing the cost and these factors depend upon the size of the network. An appropriate value of each factor is fixed by conducting sufficient number of trials and then a solution is obtained which gives the minimum cost.The method is first validated by a bench mark problem of two loop network given in literature. In the present study G.A. is applied for the cost optimization of a village pipe network of Budni block of Sehore district in M.P. (India) by changing the reservoir height. It is seen that the least cost of this pipe is attained at reservoir height of

متن کاملOptimization of Cutting Parameters Based on Production Time Using Colonial Competitive (CC) and Genetic (G) Algorithms
A properly designed machining procedure can significantly affect the efficiency of the production lines. To minimize the cost of machining process as well as increasing the quality of products, cutting parameters must permit the reduction of cutting time and cost to the lowest possible levels. To achieve this, cutting parameters must be kept in the optimal range. This is a non-linear optimizati...
