Question: A uPVC drip irrigation system manifold, 4 5 m long, on a dead level contour is to be designed to carry 1 2 drip laterals

A uPVC drip irrigation system manifold, 45 m long, on a dead level contour is to be designed to carry 12 drip laterals equidistantly spaced with each drip lateral irrigating 30 trees, each tree irrigated by 4 drippers, each dripper discharging 3.5 l/hr. For uniformity purposes in the designed system, the head loss in the manifold should not exceed 1.10 m. What should the manifold diameter (mm) theoretical and practical be in order to meet the above design requirement, using the: a) general exponential friction equation. b) appropriate friction head loss charts.
