ANALYZING THE HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IMPACT SPRINKLER WITH A FIXED WATER DISPERSION DEVICE
Keywords:
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the hydraulic performance characteristics of an impact sprinkler equipped with a fixed water dispersion device. The performance of the sprinkler is evaluated based on parameters such as water distribution uniformity, throw radius, precipitation rate, and overall irrigation efficiency. Experimental tests are conducted to measure these parameters under various operating conditions, including different water pressures and nozzle sizes. The results provide valuable insights into the sprinkler's hydraulic behavior and its ability to deliver water effectively and efficiently in agricultural and landscape irrigation systems. The findings of this research can aid in optimizing the design and operation of impact sprinklers with fixed water dispersion devices, leading to improved irrigation practices and water resource management.
