The Task was to design an irrigation system,since the football field needed a new one. Then determine the best route for the water pipes The areas of the field the sprinkler waters, the location of sprinklers,and how much of the field the sprinkler waters.The whole field has to be covered and not overwatered. Adobe illustrator was used to create a scale design for the system that the students selected,layers had to be included to represent the different parts of the irrigation system.The cost of the materials for the system also had to be determined. The design process was set up like this, the angle of the sprinklers was 360 degrees.The radius of each sprinkler is 40 feet.The number of sprinklers was determined on how the sprinklers were positioned. How the placement of the sprinklers were determine was the head to head range .How the placement of piping was determined was by finding the best way to link the sprinklers together. …show more content…
To find the area the students had to use the formula a=r2. Then the students multiply 3.14 by the radius 40 feet squared,which additionally gives 5024 ft for the full circles.After that,the students get 5024, it will be divided by 2 which will then provide the answer 2512ft for the half circles. Then 2512ft will be divided by 2 again giving the answer 1256ft for the quarter circles.The cost of each sprinkler is $11,the football field needs 50 sprinklers,The cost of 50 sprinklers would be $550. The total amount of piping needed to reach all of the sprinklers 1960 ft. The amount of pipes that are needed will cost
You have asked the following question: “We have a high school project with a noncombustible gymnasium. The entire school is protected with a fire sprinkler system per NFPA 13. The angled seating structure is stair stepped concrete to allow for elevated seating. The area under the seating is designated as storage with full height doors and has an angled inverted stair step ceiling. Does this storage area under the seating require fire sprinkler protection?” In response to your question, we have reviewed NFPA 13, 2013 edition that you indicated as the applicable standard. Our informal interpretation is that fire sprinklers are installed throughout the premises and would be required for the storage area.
3. In at least fifty words, discuss the grade you should receive for your project. Describe what you did in order to ensure that your project was the best it could be. Include at least three specific examples or reasons to defend your position.
I'm sorry, but we are not able to provide the contractual requirements for this application. We are limited in scope to provide informal interpretations from codes and standards for water-based systems. It is also outside the scope of the bylaws for the association. Our informal interpretation service is available to answer specific questions about the standards governing the sprinkler industry. These questions often address design issues, but they are applicable to a specific portion of the standards and can be applied by anyone with a similar scenario. I hope you understand our dilemma regarding other design disciplines for facilities. To date, we've answered over 2000 written requests for interpretations and countless numbers of verbal requests. I hope we can assist you in the future. As a valuable member of AFSA, the following is some guidance to help get you
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:
Still I was a bit lost, I went on and to have another reading to what was I supposed to do in the assignment, I decide to use the example of finding the circle area, a copied and pasted, but it did not work, I only got a syntax error, I keep playing with it and decide to use the forum
Team 2 has considered a variety of factors including *cultural and technological appropriateness, geography, local economics, material availability and safety. Six draft designs were generated, each adhering to the brief and a potential for a successful water filtration device. The designs were judged and eliminated on certain criteria; for example, Plan 3 consisted of a device which could be flipped, the caught debris acting as another filtration layer. Although Plan 3 was cost effective and time
In this problem, the football field will need a fresh watering or irrigation system. This is for the football field to be moist so the grass within the field will not get dried up.
3. The cross-sectional area of a hole is 725 cm2. Given that the area of a circle is A = πr2, find the radius of the hole. (Hint: Use the problem-solving method described in section 2.3 of the textbook.).
Automatic sprinkler systems are better protection than a fire department since the sprinkler systems would react to fire faster than the fire department could. However, they can work together. The fire department can respond after the automatic sprinkler systems. The automatic sprinkler systems need to work well so that in case of fire, the sprinklers actually function as they should. The sprinklers need to be used in warm climates or in heated areas. (Hammer & Price, 2001, p.

“Are PIV's or wall PIV's required on a sprinkler system? All the AHJ's in Tennessee believe that they are. I started in the sprinkler business in Michigan and we rarely used PIV's. Section A.8.16.1.1.1 states that a water supply shall not extend into a building unless it is under the control of an outside indicating valve or an inside indicating valve located near the outside wall of a building. Every system that we install has an indicating valve inside near an exterior wall of the building on the backflow assembly. Why would I also need a PIV? Even if there was a PIV showing open on the window, you could still have a valve inside on the backflow assembly that is closed so what is the point?” In response to your question, we have reviewed
The best thing about a PVC sprinkler water toy is it is lightweight and can be setup almost anywhere a garden hose can reach. All you need is a few pieces of PVC pipe for this project. You can easily get the pieces you need at any home improvement store. You may also want some PVC glue.
This is some of my best work because I really worked hard on this and my partner and I did all of the work ourselves. We didn't simply follow some directions, but we made everything ourselves and still ended up doing everything successfully. This is something I'm really proud for since it clearly shows what I'm capable of doing on my own, without a teacher to help me through every step. It also was a learning process because we made mistakes along the way, but we learned from them which made it so we had the best procedure possible. All of the effort and the planning that we put into this project really made it so it was as good as it could be despite any minor bumps we hit along the way. The main thing that went well was the planning process when making everything. We really thought everything out and made sure to think of everything before committing to paper since we didn't want to have to cross a lot of things out. We took a excessive amount of time to think through each step to make sure we missed nothing and also thought through all the
Our task was to pour a graduated cylinder full of water that was on a table, into a cup that was on the ground, all of which had to be completed in 10 steps. The entire project took about seven days to complete and we did achieve our goal of pouring water into the cup. However, during the project, we did have a lot of conflicting ideas on how to complete the project. We also had days where all we did was sit around and start from scratch because the plan
The short story of “Fountains in the Rain” written by Yukio Mishima is about a young boy who is trying to break up with his girlfriend. In the story the young couple finds them selves by a fountain, a key place of setting. Fountain shows a lot of importance in the story. ‘‘Mishima Yukio is arguably still the most famous writer modern Japan has produced’’ (Enotes 1). Akio, the main character, starts off the story carrying his girlfriend through the rain in a sack. Akio is the protagonist of the story finds him self in a bit of a predicament towards the end the story but the fountain fixes every thing. “He has contrived a plan much like an engineer might plot the dimensions of a proposed building” (Hart 1). There will be
