Hi Mahmoud, Lets assume it ...

Hi Mahmoud,

Lets assume it is full-circle machine and is 700m long, and the overhang/end boom is 13m. Take the 13m off the total length because this will be where the last drive wheels will be (unless it has a corner unit - let's assume it doesn't). Taking the 13m off leaves a 687m radius (4316.5m circumference). If, for example, the maximum tower speed is 2.68m/minute, then it will take 1,610.6 minutes to complete one lap (assuming it is at 100% speed all the time). That is around 26.8 hours. As far as the flow-rate goes, lets assume it irrigates an area of 153.9ha at 5.0mm/day (5L per square meter per day), that will require a flow rate of 89.1L/s (continuously). If you ran the machine at only 50% speed, it would take twice as long to get around, but, assuming the machine is left running 24hrs a day/7 days a week, it would still apply 5.0mm/day on average. I hope this is what you were after!
