Abstract
The pneumatic waste collection system, which is a complete solution for solving the waste collection problems, are constructed in many countries all over the world. However, research data for piping network design are insufficient. In this paper the pressure losses of the straight and curved pipes, pipe junctions are obtained using the numerical method in order to investigate the optimal pipe network design for the waste collection system. As an experimental result, the length of 1.8 meter is the reasonable for the radius of curvature of a curved pipe and the angle of 30 degree is suitable for confluent pipe.
