Abstract in Portuguese
Realizou se a presente pesquisa, visando investigar e apresentar um método alternativo de irrigação localizada, com o qual se obtivesse baixo custo e nível tecnológico comparável aos métodos existentes no mercado. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se os modelos matemáticos UNIVERSAL e WSBOTREL, para dimensionamento de microtubos sob regime de escoamento turbulento, onde se inclui as perdas de carga no microtubo, perda de carga localizada e por energia de velocidade na saída do microtubo, sendo que os mesmos foram utilizados no desenvolvimento de um software em planilha de Excel, para projetar linhas laterais com microtubos de comprimentos iguais e variáveis. Os modelos foram avaliados com o dimensionamento de uma linha lateral de irrigação, e tiveram ótimos desempenhos, tendo em vista que os dados coletados proporcionaram vazão média próxima da vazão de projeto, com coeficiente de determinação acima de 98%, excelente uniformidade de distribuição, baixo erro médio absoluto e coeficiente de variação de vazão. Avaliou-se o comportamento da água sob diferentes pressões e temperaturas, e verificou-se que a variação da vazão foi quase nula para uma diferença de temperatura de 3,00 Kelvins. O modelo WSBOTREL foi empregado para projetar um sistema de irrigação, com a proposta de utilizar fertirrigação em mudas de laranja cultivadas em estufa. O sistema ficou sob avaliação durante 160 dias, sendo que no final do ciclo, não foi observado entupimento dos emissores, e, as plantas tiveram alturas e diâmetros do caule iguais às plantas irrigadas de maneira tradicional com mangueiras, conforme procedimento adotado pela empresa, com vantagem de economizar mão de obra e solução utilizada na fertirrigação. Dessa forma, pode-se dizer que o sistema de irrigação com microtubos em regime de escoamento turbulento se mostrou tecnicamente viável para utilização.

Abstract in English
The present work aims to investigate an alternative method of localized irrigation, with low cost and technological level comparable to nowadays equipments on the market. To do so, it has developed the mathematical models UNIVERSAL and WSBOTREL, for calculating microtubs diameter and length that would work under turbulent flow, where it is considered: head loss in the microtub and localized head loss at extremities. It was development software on a spreadsheet Excel, to design laterals lines with microtubs of similar and variable length. The models were evaluated for calculating the lateral line of irrigation systems, presenting great performance: collected data showed average discharge close to projected discharge, with coefficient of determination of 98%, excellent uniformity of distribution, low mean absolute error and variation coefficient of discharge. It was evaluated the behavior of emitters under different pressures and water temperatures. It was found that the discharge of variation was almost zero for a temperature difference of 3 degree Kelvin. The WSBOTREL model was used to design an commercial irrigation system, with the objective of making use of fertirrigation in nursery citrus plants (greenhouse). The system was under evaluation during 160 days. At the end of the growing cycle, it wasn´t observed clogging of emitters, and plants presented similar high and diameter of stem compare to the traditional irrigation method (hoses) according to the procedure adopted by the company, with advantage to reduce hand work and solution used in fertirrigation. The irrigation system with microtub under turbulent zone of flow was technically feasible to use.
