Design and Development of Special Purpose Valve for Agricultural Irrigation

Valve can be defined any device for closing or modifying the passage through a pipe, outlet, inlet, or the like, in order to stop, allow, or control the flow of a fluid media. Presently for the irrigation purpose different type of valves like gate valve, butterfly valve, Electric operated valve´s, etc. are available in the market. The main disadvantage of the use of these conventional is that it incurs high initial cost and requires complex and tedious attachments and fittings. Hence there is need for development of flexible and economical valve which can be easily implemented and also should serve the purpose of its design. This project deals with designing the flexible and economical valve which can serve the purpose of its design subjected to different parameters. It includes the actual designing, computer aided modeling and analysis of flow process valve.
