Abstract
A simple water supply loop has been optimized by Lagrange multiplier method. The equivalent length and equivalent diameter approaches for optimizing the same loop have been examined and inherent fallacies considered. The mathematical logic supporting these methods has been shown to be unsound.Keywords
