What is Pipe Size and Flow Rate Relationships about?
This chapter discusses key hydraulic principles for microirrigation systems including: - Water pressure is exerted due to the weight of water columns, with every 2.31 feet of water producing 1 psi of pressure. - Flow rate can be calculated using the equation of continuity which relates flow to velocity and cross-sectional area. - As pipe diameter increases, flow capacity increases exponentially while pressure loss decreases. Smaller pipes result in lower flows, not higher pressure. - Bernoulli
