Abstract

Design engineers often face the complex task of designing new collection systems.
Methods based on Manning’s equation are frequently used due to the availability of tables and
graphs, which simplify the calculations. These methods lack accuracy except when laborious
numerical methods are utilized. The design of a collection system seeks the computation of a
diameter that produces an accepted velocity value without considering the water level in the
computed pipe. Yet, the flow efficiency whether volumetric or circulation is an important
design criterion. By considering the latter an increase in the volumetric and circulation
capacity of the flow in the pipe can be obtained. This research proposes a new concept for the design
of a partially full pipe. It is based on Manning’s equation and produces a more
efficient flow in a pipe, i.e., the pipe is as fully exploited as possible.
