Module 5
Principles of Hydraulic Design
1
Flow Rate, Diameter, and Velocity: The Relationship
Explain the relationship between flow rate, pipe diameter, and water velocity.
2
Understanding Friction Loss and System Pressure
Define friction loss (head loss) and its impact on system pressure.
Pipe Sizing with Charts: Flow Rate & Velocity
Use pipe sizing charts to select an initial pipe diameter based on zone flow rate and acceptable velocity.
4
Hazen-Williams Formula for Pipe Friction Loss
Calculate friction loss in a pipe segment using the Hazen-Williams formula.
5
Calculating Friction Loss in Irrigation Laterals
Summarize total friction loss for the main and lateral lines of a single irrigation zone.
