Sideroll equipment is available from the manufacturer with a lateral spacing of Mainline sections are available in lengths of or Previous lests under the expected low wind conditions and using offsets have indicated that uniformitics of percent are attainable with mainline spacing and lateral spacing. If the altainable uniformity coefficient is in question, a test should be run on a trial system for verification.
The operator wants to run the system on a schedule of out of days during the peak period with a total operating time of out of hours. The remaining four hours are required to drain and move the lateral. The operator wants to pressurize the system at the minimum feasible pressure to limit operating costs.
Assume the nozzle selection is constrained to those available in Table for Model JH from the manufacturer's calalog. This will be a single nozzle system. Determine the design nozzle diameter, operating pressure, welled diameter, nozzle discharge, gross application rate, and actual lime of operation.
