Question

Tractor mounted sprayer having 14 nozzles 60 cm apart is moving at a forward speed of 35 km/h. The chemical mixed with water is to be applied at the rate of 75 lit /ha, at pressure of 500 kPa calculate the following-
a) The rate of spray per nozzle in litmin
b) Pump efficiency if liquid lost in the system is 10%.
c) Horsepower of engine if the pump and Power required for agitating the water 1/10th of rated power of engine c) height of Spray from the ground if the spray angle is 60 degrees & each nozzle should Spray 25 % more than nozzle Spacing
