What is the Rotation Time for a Given Application Rate?


 

How fast will the pivot go around for a given application rate?     

    Trevolution = [ Qpump / 450] / [ Area x Idepth ]                    
    Idepth = Depth applied per revolution, inches                    
    Qpump = Irrigation system flow rate, gallons per minute                    
    Efficiency = Application efficiency of system                    
    Trevolution  = Revolution time, hours                    
    Area = irrigated area, acres    

    System flow rate -  675      Gallons per minute            
    Application Depth -  0.75    Inches per acre            
    Irrigated area - 130             Acres            
    Application Efficiency - 100%    Percentage            
    Gallons in acre inch - 27,154    Gallons            
    Acre inches pumped each hour - 1.50    Inches per acre            
    Total Acre Inches Needed for pivot - 98  Acre Inches            
    Conversion Constant - 450       Constant            
    Total amount of time to make revolution =    65.0 Hours            

    Total amount of time to make revolution =    2.71 Days
