Abstract: This research article discusses methods for designing high-performance facades with a focus on minimizing heat transfer and improving energy usage. The facade is one of the most significant contributors to the energy budget ...

Abstract: Anwar’s friction correction factor,

Abstract: Reliable information about the wetted dimensions of soil under drip irrigation helps designers to determine optimal emitter flow rates and spacings to reduce system equipment costs and provide better soil water conditions ...

Abstract: The uniform distribution of water delivered through microirrigation emitters on a lateral line is an important objective that greatly affects a system’s efficiency. Among the various uniformity parameters, distribution ...

Abstract: In pressurized irrigation systems the total long-term costs can often be minimized by dividing the pipeline into segments of different diameters. To properly design such a system requires an accurate hydraulic analysis. ...

Abstract: A center pivot was completely automated using the temperature-time-threshold method of irrigation scheduling. An array of infrared thermometers was mounted on the center pivot, and these were used to remotely determine the ...

Abstract: A simple explicit formula was derived to determine the maximum irrigation depth (Dmax) that can be applied per irrigation without any runoff under a center pivot and/or linear move irrigation system. The analysis is built ...

Abstract: Microirrigation has become quite a common practice in agricultural production in various parts of the world. To achieve the optimum (hydraulic and economic) system performance, designers are often faced with the problem ...
