An Estimation of the Discharge Exponent of a Drip Irrigation Emitter by Response Surface Methodology and Machine Learning

The discharge exponent is a general index used to evaluate the hydraulic performance of emitters, which is affected by emitters’ structural parameters. Accurately estimating the effect of change in structural parameters on the discharge exponent is critical for the design and optimization of emitter...
