 At 55% spacing = 13 x 0.55 = 7.15 m

6. Set time, T

T = dgross/r = 57.76 mm/5.8 mm/hr


T = 9.96 hours/operation
7. Number of Sprinklers and Spacing

• No. of laterals along mainline


= 50 m/6 m = 8.33 ≈ 8 laterals

• No. of sprinkler along lateral


= 100 m/6 m = 16.67
≈ 16 sprinklers
Adjusted spacing:
= 50 m/8 laterals = 6.25 m between laterals
= 100 m/16 sprinklers = 6.25 m between sprinklers

Adjusted precipitation rate, r:


= 210 lph / (6.25 x 6.25) = 5.376 mm/hr

13. Average Pressure Head

Ha = Hd + 0.26hl + SeLl/2 ;
assume slope = relatively flat

Ha = 30 m + 0.26 x 4.86 + 0 = 31.26 m

Ho = Ha + 0.74hl + SeLl/2 ;
assume slope = relatively flat

Ho = 31.26 m + 0.74 x 4.86 + 0 = 34.86 m


14. Total Dynamic Head, TDH

Hn = Ho + Hrh = 34.86m + 1m = 35.86 m

TDH = Hn + Hm + Hj + Hs
Assume Hj = 1 m; Hs = 3 m
