Question 3: A drip irrigation system uses perforated pipes to provide water to the surrounding area. If water enters the piping system (0.2m in diameter) with a constant velocity of 7ms and exits at discharge velocity (v) through the outlet. Water also leaves through the walls of the pipes in a 360 pattern. The flow is considered steady and discharge through the wall of the pipe is linear as seen in the figure below. Determine the discharge velocity (v).
A. Draw a 3D figure of the system.
B. Write all necessary assumptions needed to solve this problem.
C. Write the mass conservation equation for this system.
Hint: The volumetric flowrate at the walls is
020Lv(z)Rddz
D. Determine the discharge velocity (v).
Note: The exit velocity at the wall is
v(z)=-v36ftx+v3
Extra credit. Derive the equation for the exit velocity at the wall shown above.
