Investigation of Churn and Annular Flow Transition Boundaries in Vertical Upward Gas-Water Two-Phase Flow

ABSTRACT Flow patterns in two-phase flow in vertical upward pipes are crucial for predicting phase distribution, flow transitions, and stability. Existing studies on churn to annular flow transitions primarily focus on flow rates, physical parameters, pressure, and temperature, often overlooking pipe diameter. This study addresses this gap using a multiphase pipe flow experimental setup to examine transitions under varying pipe diameters, gas flow rates, and liquid flow rates. Results show that with a constant liquid flow rate, increasing pipe diameter requires a higher gas flow rate to form annular flow, leading to greater pressure gradients and smoother fluctuations. Conversely, with a constant gas flow rate, larger pipe diameters decrease the liquid flow rate needed for annular flow, resulting in smaller pressure gradients and smoother fluctuations. Smaller pipe diameters make annular flow formation easier, with smaller pressure gradients but larger fluctuations. A novel churn-annular flow transition boundary model was developed, considering factors like gas shear force, surface tension, gravity, viscous force, and pressure gradient. Evaluated with 804 experimental data sets, the new model’s prediction accuracy exceeds 98.19%, outperforming traditional models with 53.92%-86.27% accuracy, enhancing applicability across varying diameters.

Research on the Internal Flow Properties of the Bending Pipeline Based on the CFD

Abstract Pipeline connection is the main connection of hydraulic parts. For the study of pipe diameter, turning Angle and the turning radius of pipe, the influence law of the internal flow characteristics. this paper adopts CFD 3D simulation technology to explore the influence law of 5 kinds of bending radius, 6 kinds of bending Angle and 4 kinds of pipe diameter on the pressure loss of the pipeline. The results show that there are pressure difference and velocity difference in the inner wall and the outer wall of the bend, due to the impact of the fluid inertia force on the bend, when the fluid flows in the bend. As bending radius and pipe diameter increases, the pressure difference and speed difference of the inner and outer walls at the turning point of the pipeline are reduced, the local pressure loss at the bending is reduced, the internal pressure loss of the pipeline is reduced, and the flow is more uniform. With the increase of bending angle, the pressure difference and velocity difference of the inner and outer walls of the pipeline bending increase, the local pressure loss increases, and the overall pipeline pressure loss increases. The research results of this paper can provide some reference for pipeline hydraulic design and optimization.

Effect of airflow velocity in vessel-pipelines on dust explosion during pneumatic conveying

In order to investigate the flame propagation and pressure characteristics of dust particles during airflow transportation, a dust explosion experimental apparatus simulating dust handling processes was designed. The system is supplied with a stable airflow by a high-pressure fan, capable of continuously transferring dust from the vessel to the pipeline at a controllable speed. Dust explosion experiments were meticulously executed by applying 1 kJ of ignition energy to the transported dust particles at airflow velocities of 5, 10, and 15 m/s. This study examines the effects of airflow velocity, pipe diameter, and ignition position on explosion characteristics and delves into the mechanisms of these effects through a detailed analysis of experimental results. For the maximum explosion pressure, an increase in airflow velocity causes the maximum explosion pressure to rise. As the pipe diameter increases, the maximum explosion pressure first rises and then falls. The maximum explosion pressure occurs in the case of bottom ignition. The range of maximum explosion pressure values is expected to provide a reference for explosion detection and explosion venting. For flame propagation, the flame undergoes five processes within the vessel, including ignition of dust particles, spherical flame development, flame stretching towards the mouth of the pipe, complete combustion of particles, and near exhaustion of particle combustion. The higher the airflow velocity and the larger the pipe diameter, the more pronounced the flame stretching and development towards the pipe opening become. Within the pipe, two distinct flame propagation behaviors were observed under conditions of high and low airflow velocities. Compared with the experimental results of high-pressure pneumatic powder spraying forming a dust cloud within a vessel-pipeline, this study measures the maximum explosion pressure at specific turbulence levels and establishes a quantitative relationship between airflow velocity and explosion characteristics. Utilizing this correlation can provide a reference for predicting industrial-grade dust explosion characteristics at different airflow velocity levels, thereby offering a more optimized design basis for the design and safety protection of industrial equipment.

Experimental study on the flow electrification of liquid nitrogen in turbulent flow

Flow electrification occurs in all fluid flow scenarios involving solid–liquid interfaces. Due to electrostatic safety considerations, extensive research, both experimental and theoretical, has been conducted in the petroleum transportation field. However, research on flow electrification related to cryogenic fluids is relatively scarce, with even fewer experimental studies conducted. With the increasing use of cryogenic fluids such as liquid hydrogen and liquefied natural gas in aerospace and energy fields, there is an urgent need to expand the experimental database on cryogenic fluid flow electrification. In this context, a study focusing on cryogenic flow electrification using liquid nitrogen (LN2) as the working fluid was initiated, accompanied by the establishment of a flow electrification experimental platform capable of capturing ultra-low electrical signals at cryogenic conditions. Three measurement methods were designed and implemented, including charge, potential, and current measurements. By comparing their performance, the streaming charge method was identified as the optimal choice due to the stability and linearity of the raw signal. Subsequently, extensive testing was conducted to analyze the effects of various parameters, including flow velocity, pipe diameter, pipe material, and pipe roughness, on flow electrification intensity. The conclusions drawn include: within the experimental measurement range, the current induced by flow turbulence is on the order of 10−12 A for LN2. Moreover, increasing pipe diameter and roughness exacerbate the charge transported. Among the four materials tested, PTFE exhibits the highest intensity of flow electrification, followed by aluminum and stainless steel, with copper showing the weakest effect. Finally, based on the experimental data obtained, a modified semi-empirical correlation formula for the streaming current was proposed, which can reflect the specific effects of flow velocity, pipe diameter, material, and pipe roughness. Our measurement research has significant implications for the study of flow electrification in LN2 and its applications in aerospace and energy security fields.

Research on test method of multi-channel ultrasonic wave detection for gas well injection volume

In the early stage of natural gas extraction, the fracturing and blowout process is often used to obtain stable production. However, during the fracturing process, natural gas combustion is frequently directly released, which causes significant pollution to the environment and a waste of resources. In order to measure the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the process of gas well blowout, a multi-channel velocity measurement model is established. The multi-channel sensor structure is designed based on an analysis of the gas well blowout process and fluid configuration simulations. The influence of pipe diameter on the flow characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow was analyzed by FLUENT software. The simulation results show that the distribution of flow velocity in a gas-liquid two-phase flow tube is not uniform, the flow velocity of different flow layers is different, and the stratification phenomenon is more obvious with the increase of pipe diameter, highlighting the necessity of multi-channel measurements. Therefore, we developed a gas-liquid two-phase flow velocity measuring device. The experimental results demonstrate that accurately describing velocity in the tube can be achieved by measuring velocities in different channels using the gas-liquid two-phase flow velocity measurement device.

Influence of the Advance Jacked Pipe on the Jacking Force of the Subsequent Pipe Based on Pipe–Soil Full Contact Model

Abstract In pipe jacking engineering, accurate prediction of jacking force is the key to pipe jacking design. Based on a project of the Beijing Daxing Airport Line, the influence of the advance jacked pipes on the jacking force of the subsequent pipe is carried out in the present work. First, the verified numerical model of practical engineering was established, and the jacking force and radial stress of different pipes were analyzed. Then, the two pipes were taken as research object, and the parameters of spacing, angle, buried depth, and pipe diameter were investigated, respectively. The results show that in the actual project, the advance jacked pipes have amplification and superposition effects on friction resistance of the subsequent pipe, and the maximum growth rate is 37.2%. The friction resistance of the subsequent pipe presents a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the change of the layout angle of advance jacked pipe from 0° to 180°. With the increase of buried depth and pipe diameter, the absolute value of incremental friction resistance of the subsequent pipe increases gradually, but the growth rate remains constant. Finally, the empirical formulas for predicting the friction resistance growth rate of subsequent pipes under different angles are proposed. The research results can provide some reference for the design of pipe jacking.

Study on the effect of pressure in humid air dehumidificationournal

In this paper, there are problems such as large energy consumption and complex system in the field of condensation dehumidification. It is found that increasing pressure can strengthen the effect of condensation dehumidification, simplify the system and reduce energy consumption. So this paper simulates the condensation and dehumidification process of humid air in horizontal pipe under positive pressure. The results show that the dehumidification capacity increases by 25%∼30% when the pressure increases by 100kPa on average. The increase of pressure has little effect on the heat transfer coefficient, but the increase of humidity increases the heat transfer coefficient more obvious. When the humidity of wet air increases by 20%, the heat transfer coefficient increases by 18% ∼ 33%. The dehumidification capacity and heat transfer coefficient increase with the increase of pipe diameter and fluid flow rate.

Design Parameters Investigation on Sand Transportation Characteristics of V-Inclined Pipe Based on Eulerian–Eulerian Two-Phase Flow Model

During the operation of the water transportation pipelines in the upstream of the Yellow River, varying degrees of sand deposition often occur under a low flow rate. Taking into account the effect of different pipe inclinations, pipe diameters, and inlet sand content, the Eulerian–Eulerian two-phase model was applied in the numerical simulation of sediment-laden flow in a V-inclined pipe. The results indicate that there is a significant difference between a V-inclined pipe and horizontal pipe affected by gravity. Compared with the downward inclined pipe, sand deposition is evident in the upward inclined pipe. The high-velocity region moves upward and the asymmetry of the cross-sectional velocity increases. As the pipe diameter increases, the interaction between sand and the wall as well as the degree of turbulence decrease, so that the distribution of sand volume concentration across the cross section will be more uniform. Under different inlet sand content, the lowest point of the pipe experiences the most sand deposition, with sand volume concentration and velocity distribution across the cross-sections becoming uneven as inlet sand content increases. The location of the maximum liquid velocity varies from section to section. When the inlet sand content increases from 0.42% to 5%, the liquid velocity of the pipe cross-section no longer satisfies the rule of high velocity for middle and low velocity near the wall.

Equivalence method and transient flow characteristics of the integrated valve

As a new kind of built-in control rod drive technology, the control rod hydraulic drive system (CRHDS) is applied to the 200 MW nuclear heating reactor (NHR-200). The integrated valve (IV) is the key flow control component of CRHDS, realizing the stepping function of control rod. During operation, the rapid action of IV can trigger the water hammer, which can lead to system vibration, noise and instrument damage. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the transient flow process. The composition and working principle of IV were presented, and the transient flow experiments were conducted. An equivalence method was proposed innovatively, and the transient flow model of IV was established, whose results were in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, the model was applied to variable parameter conditions. The analysis results show that: IV can be simplified as flow capacitance, flow resistance, internal connecting pipe and closing valve. The water hammer pressure fluctuation amplitude decreases with the increase of valve closing time, cavity volume and system pipe diameter. The water hammer period increases with the increase of cavity volume and system pipe length. The research results provide guidance for the optimization and engineering application of CRHDS.

Surge and lifting analysis of internal transmission gas–liquid two-phase flow lifting pipe

The gas–liquid two-phase flow inside large aspect ratio lifting pipes is often characterized by a complex flow pattern, potentially causing coupling vibration of the lifting pipe. And produce a surge effect, aggravating the vibration of the lifting pipe and thus affecting its fatigue life and the lifting performance of the pipe. In this paper, a combination of numerical simulation and experiment is used to investigate the effects of inlet flow rate (Q) and tube diameter (D) on the vibration and lifting performance of the lifting tube. The obtained conclusions are as follows: with an increase in the inlet gas flow rate, the amplitude of the lifting pipe increases, and the lifting flow increases; with an increase in pipe diameter, the amplitude of the lifting pipe decreases and the overall lifting performance increases. According to the numerical simulation and experimental results, when D = 40 mm lifting pipe at the intake flow between Q = 50-60 L/min, the impact of surge effect is the least, and the liquid lifting quality also reaches the best state at this time, The research presented in this paper provides a reference for the selection of parameters for lifting pipes in engineering applications.

A quantitative analysis on the influence of temperature on head loss along PVC pipe and the choice of pipe diameter

PVC pipe is widely used in engineering. For instance, it can be used to transport hot water. However, in the process of transmission, a certain head loss will be produced, and the cost problem will be considered in the choice of pipe diameter [1]. Through the controlling of variable, this paper introduces and deduces the formula used to calculate the influence of temperature on head loss. By listing the results and making a graph after calculation, the influence of temperature parameter change on the head loss of PVC pipe is explored, and a reasonable pipe diameter selection scheme is discussed. The formulas and parameters used in this paper are all from the research of other scholars and experts. The results show that the head loss in PVC pipe decreases gradually and stably with the increase of temperature. In addition, with the increase of pipe diameter, the head loss will be reduced, the power consumption of the pump will be reduced, but the material cost will be increased. In conclusion, the water temperature can be increased in a certain range to reduce the head loss. When the distance of pipe distribution is short, a larger pipe diameter can be selected to reduce the power consumption cost. For longer distances, smaller pipe diameters can be selected to reduce material costs.

Experimental Study on the Effect of TiO2–Water Nanofluid on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger with Varying Helical Coil Diameter

The growing demand for efficient heat exchangers has promoted extensive research in exploring advanced heat transfer fluids and novel geometries. This paper investigates the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in helical coil heat exchanger employing water-based TiO2 as nanofluid. The utilization of nanofluids offers promising enhancements in thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer in heat exchanger applications. The effect of nanofluid concentration and flow rate on heat transfer and pressure drop with varying helical coil diameter performance is investigated. Experimental tests were conducted using a heat exchanger with different helical coil pipe diameters of 9.53mm, 12.7mm and 15.88mm with constant pitch of 30mm and varying concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles in water (ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% by volume). The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop were measured at different operating conditions. The results shows that the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles to water significantly enhanced the heat transfer performance in the helical coil heat exchanger. There is an enhancement in heat transfer coefficient with increasing nanofluid concentration and with increase in pipe diameter. The maximum enhancement in heat transfer coefficient is observed at nanofluid concentration of 0.5% and for pipe diameter of 15.88 mm. However, there is increase in pressure drop with increase in nanofluid concentration and with decreasing pipe diameter. The pressure drop found to be higher for nanofluids compared to pure water. The maximum pressure drop is observed at a concentration of 0.5% and for pipe diameter 9.53mm. In conclusion, the use of a water-based TiO2 nanofluid in a helical coil heat exchanger offers improved heat transfer performance compared to pure water. However, the pressure drop also increases with nanofluid concentration and decreasing pipe diameter. Therefore, a trade-off between heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop should be considered in the design and operation of such heat exchangers.

C2O Nanotubes with Negative Strain Energies and Improvements of Thermoelectric Properties via N-Doping Predicted from First-Principle Calculations

In this study, the geometric structure, strain energy, and electronic properties of armchair C2O nanotubes (A_C2ONTs(n,n)) and zigzag C2O nanotubes (Z_C2ONTs(n,0)) are studied in detail. The results show that these nanotubes behave as special shapes; the section of Z_C2ONTs(n,0) along the axial direction is an n-edge type, and the section tends to be round with an increase in n while the boundary of section along the axial direction for A_C2ONTs(n,n) fluctuates. With an increase in n, the fluctuation disappears gradually, and the section also tends to be round. Compared with C2O nanosheets (g_C2O), C2O nanotubes have similar or even smaller strain energy, when the tube diameter is greater than or equal to 15 Å, the strain energy begins to show a negative value, and the negative value tends to be stable as the pipe diameter increases. Z_C2ONTs start to show negative strain energies from n = 8 and A_C2ONTs from n = 12, indicating their higher stabilities relative to the g_C2O sheets. The calculation of the electronic band structure shows that Z_C2ONTs are an indirect band gap semiconductor, and A_C2ONT is a direct band gap semiconductor. The band gap value of Z_C2ONTs first increases and then stabilizes with the diameters of the nanotubes, and the band gap value of A_C2ONTs decreases with the increase in the nanotubes and tends to the band gap value of the g_C2O sheet. In addition, the electronic properties and thermoelectric properties of C2ONTs(n=4,6,8) before and after N-doping were also studied. We found that N-doping changed the electronic and thermoelectric properties of C2ONTs. It reduced the nanotube band gap value and significantly improved the thermoelectric figures of merit of Z_C2ONTs(n=4,6,8) and A_C2ONT(4,4), which comprised an effective strategy to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit of nanotubes. The results showed that the C2ONTs had potential as thermoelectric materials after N-doping, which provided important guidance for designing low-dimensional g_C2O nanostructures.

Ultra-long-distance transport of supercritical natural gas (SNG) at very-high mass flow rates via pipelines through land, underground, water bodies, and ocean

A detailed study of SNG transport using a computational model that accounts for compressibility and Joule-Thomson effects is presented, for the first time. It shows that the transport distance and mass flow rate of supercritical natural gas (SNG) - above the cricondenbar and cricondentherm, and beyond the anomalous state - can exceed far beyond that achieved or proposed under high pressure, dense phase conditions, thus far. As an example, SNG (average composition of USA/Canada gas), at 800 kg/s can travel, without recompression, to 4801 km. It is revealed that the pressure-drop and pumping power per unit length decrease asymptotically as the inlet pressure increases beyond 20 MPa; orders-of-magnitude lower than that at low pressures. The increase in inlet pressure, pipe diameter, and/or heat conductance of the pipe wall increases the distance travelled by SNG whereas the increase in mass flow rate and surrounding temperature has a negative effect, including the strengthening of Joule-Thomson cooling near the exit. SNG pipelines at ocean bottom offer many advantages, including shorter distances, isothermal flows (∼4 °C), and balance between the outer and inner pressures. Also, SNG delivery at 6 MPa can allow regional distribution without immediate recompression. SNG pipelines therefore offer enormous possibilities of energy-efficient transport of natural gas to far-distant intra- and inter-continental destinations, not feasible thus far, which is urgently needed for uninterrupted supply of natural gas and worldwide energy security.

Numerical investigation on the migration of leaked pollutants after liquid pressurized pipeline leakage regarding oil and gas parallel pipelines situation

Buried parallel pipelines may cause environmental pollution and explosive accidents after leakage due to corrosion, third-party damage or other factors. Here, an actual oil pipeline in-situ is employed as a prototype to establish a two-dimensional incompressible leakage and diffusion model. The model was applied to analyze the effects of different parameters including pipe diameters, burial depths and flat spacing to other pipelines on the diffusion distance of spilled diesel fuel in porous media. The results show that the existence of natural gas pipeline can change both of the polluted shape and the distance range. The natural gas pipeline can effectively inhibit the diffusion range of diesel with the increase of pipe diameter and the decrease of buried depth. A smaller spacing between parallel transmission pipelines, also results in a reduced horizontal diffusion rang. Meanwhile, the dimensionless formulas are fitted based on the Π theorem regarding diesel diffusion range versus diameter of gas pipeline, buried depth, and spacing between parallel pipelines. This study can develop appropriate protocols for detecting and recovering contaminants from paralleling pipeline.

Theoretical model on the slug/churn transition based on the generation and evolution of the huge waves

Previous experimental studies have proved that the flooding of the falling film surrounding the Taylor bubble is attributed to the transition from the slug flow to the churn flow, which is related to the generation and evolution of huge waves. In the present study, theoretical models on the basis of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of the falling film around the Taylor bubble and kinematic analysis of the interfacial wave traveling on the falling film are, respectively, established to reveal the mechanism of the slug/churn transition. The formation of the liquid bridge or pseudo-liquid bridge is taken as the judgment basis to determine the transition. A term named “most dangerous wave” is introduced in the present study, and its criteria is related to the ratio of wave amplitude to pipe diameter. Verified by the data and models in the literature, the proposed model is demonstrated to have satisfactory predicting accuracy. In addition, parameters, including pipe diameter and system pressure, are analyzed in detail to discuss their effect on the slug/churn transition. The results indicate that the slug/churn boundaries move downward as the system pressure increases but upward with the increasing pipe diameter. We believe that the findings in this paper benefit a better understanding of the relation between the huge waves and slug/churn transition.

Analysis of Energy-Saving Transport Conditions of Light-Particle Slurry

Ice slurry, as a new environmentally friendly cold storage medium, is widely used in the field of cold storage and air conditioning because of its excellent flow and heat transfer characteristics. Based on experimental data of slurry flow, the rheological properties of light-particle slurries composed of polyethylene particles and water were analyzed using the response surface method. Using the yield stress and viscosity as the responses and considering three key influencing factors (solid-phase content, particle size, and pipe diameter) simultaneously, the order and law influencing the rheological factors were found. This was a new attempt to find energy-saving conditions for light slurry particle transport using the response surface method. The results showed that the response surface method can select the minimum working condition of mixed slurry viscosity and yield stress to ensure the safe and energy-saving transport of slurry. Moreover, it was also found that the main factor influencing slurry yield stress is the pipe diameter, and the yield stress increases with increasing pipe diameter. The main factor influencing slurry viscosity is particle size, and the viscosity increases with increasing particle size.

Research on dimensionless structure size of coil heat exchanger in heat discharging process of molten salt single tank heat storage system

• Optimum dimensionless size of coil heat exchanger was studied by simulation. • The optimal size of heat exchanger appears under the combined action of vortex and molten salt flow rate. • When the dimensionless pitch L/d =4, the heat exchanger has the best heat discharging performance. • When the dimensionless pitch is the best, the optimal dimensionless diameter is 0.25. There has been an increasing attention on single-tank thermal energy storage, attracted by the low cost, high efficiency and compactness in the operation. However, the most researches on single-tank thermal energy storage focused on the way of heat discharging and the arrangement of heat exchangers. Few studies on the dimensionless size of heat exchanger, which is important for the design of single-tank thermal energy storage, were carried out. In order to obtain higher heat exchange efficiency and design criteria of coil heat exchanger, the optimal dimensionless size of heat exchanger is studied by numerical simulation. The results show that both the dimensionless pitch and the dimensionless pipe diameter of the coil heat exchanger have a great influence on the heat discharging performance when the air is used as the heating medium and the molten salt is used as the heat storage medium. With the change of dimensionless pitch, the heat discharging performance and the flow field of molten salt are affected. When the dimensionless pitch L / d = 4, the heat discharging power and heat release are the highest. At this time, the temperature and flow field of molten salt are evenly distributed, and no temperature stratification and vortex are formed. When the dimensionless pipe diameter is changed on the premise of the optimal dimensionless pitch, the heat discharging power increases first and then decreases with the increase of dimensionless pipe diameter. When the dimensionless pipe diameter d / a =0.25, the molten salt flow rate in the single tank is relatively large and no vortex hindering heat transfer, and the heat discharging performance is the best. Therefore, under the joint action of molten salt velocity and vortex, the optimal dimensionless pitch and pipe diameter appear. The research results provide a theoretical basis and an example for the design of single tank energy storage system.

Flow visualization simulation of cemented tailings backfill slurry by particle tracking technology

AbstractPipeline flow visualization of cemented tailings backfill slurry (CTBS) improves the safety and stability of transportation. High turbidity and low resolution make it difficult for conventional methods to monitor the particle distribution state of CTBS in a short period of time. Particle tracking technology (PTT) is used to simulate and investigate the flow characteristics of CTBS pipeline, combine with theoretical analysis to construct a CTBS pipeline visualization model, elaborate the particle distribution state when CTBS flows in the pipeline, and explore the effects of pipe diameter (PD), flow velocity (FV) and tailings gradation (TG) on the particle distribution. The results show that particle tracking technology is better applied to investigate the particle transport distribution characteristics of CTBS tailings. Three concepts of particle accumulated gravity Ga, static friction angle θ and diameter dividing line are defined, and the transport pipe is divided into light wear zone, medium wear zone and heavy wear zone. The increase in pipe diameter increases the content of fine particles at the pipe wall and the thickness of the lubrication layer becomes larger, which improves the safety and stability of CTBS transport. The increased flow velocity reduces the settling phenomenon of large size particles and improves the transport efficiency, which increases the pipeline transport resistance. Under good tailings grading conditions, a wide range of tailings grading is more suitable as backfill material. The results of the study illustrate the flow characteristics of the backfill slurry in the pipeline from the particle perspective and provide a theoretical basis for pipeline transportation research.

Study of The Efficiency of A Drip Irrigation System Model Based on the Internet of Things (IoT)

Farmers have used drip irrigation technology extensively, particularly for fruit and vegetable crops. However, investigations on the effectiveness of this irrigation system have not been widely conducted. IoT (Internet of Things)-based drip irrigation is a drip irrigation network design that can be employed automatically with remote control. The effectiveness of the IoT-based drip irrigation system model will therefore be investigated in this study using two distinct types of pipes with various widths. The study’s goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of an IoT-based drip irrigation system model with various diameters. Direct observation was employed as the study method in the lab, and the data collected were examined using the Minitab 18 program to get the ANOVA regression value. The findings indicated that the average headloss on ½-inch pipes was 0.7657 m, and the average headloss on 1-inch pipes was 0.6126787 m, indicating that the headloss decreased with increasing pipe diameter. On a 1-inch pipe, the correlation between discharge and headloss is 0.998. It is envisaged that a productive drip irrigation system can assist farmers in resolving infrastructural issues in water-scarce regions.
