Abstract: Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effects of total opening area, location of openings and gravel envelope on radial flow to 100 mm (4 in.) diam corrugated plastic drains. Radial flow theory was used to ...

Abstract: The problem of a lateral pipe with equally spaced emitters and uniform slope is investigated. Individual emitters are considered in discharge and pressure estimations along the lateral. The friction head loss between ...

Abstract: In this paper, the writers present a formula for sizing steel pipelines of optimal diameter with equally spaced, similar pumping units. The general case of an inclined pipeline with fitting is considered in the analysis. ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a new design technique for sprinkler irrigation laterals with equally spaced sprinklers and constant longitudinal slope. The technique uses the Darcy‐Weisbach friction formula and accounts for the ...
