Sprinkler System - Pressure drop
Sprinkler System - Pressure drop
(OP)
Hi everyone.
I'm currently designing a sprinkler unit like those used on golf courses. an impulse turbine is being used to rotate the nossle up to 180 degrees. i know its probably very simple, but id really appreciate it if someone could clarify how im supposed to achieve a pressure difference in order to have two jets of water with different ranges ejecting from the nozzel? i presume i just use bernoulli in some form...but does it all hinge on having two different diameter pipes at a junction? How do i ensure that the water travels through both?
Any help would be great! =D
Thanks, Jo
