Most production technologies require a uniform flow path of liquid from pressure distribution pipelines. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to introduce polymer additives into the liquid flow or to use converging distribution pipelines with a continuous longitudinal slot in the wall. To reduce the uneven operation of the distribution pipeline during discrete liquid dispensing, it is proposed to use cylindrical output rotary nozzles with a lateral orthogonal entry of the jet into the nozzle. The problem is the lack of methods for accurate hydraulic calculation of the operation of distribution pipelines. Adequate calculation methods are based on differential equations.
Finding the exact solution of the differential equation of fluid motion with variable path flow rate for perforated distribution pipelines is urgent, because it still does not exist. The available calculation methods take into account only the right angles of separation of the jets from the flow in the distribution pipeline. These methods are based on the assumption that the coefficient of hydraulic friction and the coefficient of resistance of the outlets are constant along the flow. A calculation method is proposed that takes into account the change in the values of these resistance coefficients along the distribution pipeline. The kinematic and physical characteristics of the flow outside the distribution pipeline are also taken into account. The accuracy of calculating the value of the flow rate of water distributed from the distribution pipeline has been experimentally verified. The error in calculating the water consumption by the method assuming that the values of the resistance coefficients are unchanged along the distribution pipeline reaches 18.75 %. According to the proposed calculation method, this error does not exceed 6.25 %. However, both methods are suitable for the design of pressure distribution pipelines, provided that the jet separation angles are straight.
Taking into account the change from 90° to 360° of the angle of separation of the jets from the flow in the distribution pipeline will expand the scope and accuracy of calculation methods.
Results of experimental investigation of the influence of values of the angle at which jets join a pressure
pipeline on the non-uniformity of water inflow along the collector-pipeline (CP) are presented. The inner diameter D
of the CP is 11.28 mm, and the diameter d of the nozzles is 4.83 mm, d / D 0.428. Five CPs in which all the
nozzles had been installed at angles , the latter was given the values of: 0 ; 45 ; 90 ; 135 ; 180 , where
investiguated. A CP in which in the initial segment the nozzles had been installed at the angle 0 , and in the
middle and terminal segment 180 has been also investigated. The greatest non-uniformity of the water inflow
along the CP was obtained for CPs with 90 , and the least one for CPs with diffrent values of the angle . The
obtained results give us the reason to conclude that it is possible to adjust the non-uniformity of water inflow into a CP
by means of the method of selection of different values of angle at which the jets join the CP.
The influence of transit flow rate of water upon operative of the equipped with nozzles pressure pipeline is experimentally investigated. External pressure, which varies in the range of 1465-2295 mm, acted upon the pipeline. The angle β between vectors of velocities of the stream in the pipeline and jets which branch off through nozzles were given the value: ο 0 ; caused increase in non-uniformity of distribution of operating heads and increase in flow rate of water along the pipeline over the segment of its dispensation. On the segment of collecting of water, inverse tendency was observed. The number of nozzles through which water became to be dispensed increased with the increase in tr Q .
