A model was developed using dimensional analysis, to predict head losses in hydrocyclone
filters. Different hydrocyclone filters with different specifications were used to measure head …

A pre-pump micro-pressure filter is a new type of micro-irrigation filter, but there are few
studies on the hydraulic performance of this type of filter. Indoor physical model tests …

Filtration is a key process of a micro-irrigation system. To achieve water conservation,
improve the energy efficiency, and meet the low-carbon environmental requirements, this …

Several equations have been developed using dimensional analysis to determine the head
loss in the filters commonly used in micro irrigation systems. The variables included in these …

A model was developed using dimensional analysis to predict head losses in disc filters.
Three different filter designs, each with four different inlet and outlet pipe diameters, were …

The performance of three filtration systems (screen, disc and a combination of screen and
disc filters) used in microirrigation systems and their automatic backwashing efficiency were …

It is often assumed that total head losses in a sand filter are solely due to the filtration media
and that there are analytical solutions, such as the Ergun equation, to compute them …

Filters are important pieces of equipment to ensure the normal operation of micro-irrigation
systems, and the head loss is a key indicator to evaluate their hydraulic performances. To …
