Question

Design of Agitation System. An agitation system is to be designed for a fluid having a density of 950 kg/m3 and viscosity of 0.005 Pa · s. The vessel volume is 1.50 m^3 and a standard six-blade open turbine with blades at 45°C (curve 3, Fig. 3.4-4) is to be used with Da/W = 8 and Da/Dt= 0.35. For the preliminary design a power of 0.5 kW/m3 volume is to be used. Calculate the dimensions of the agitation system, rpm, and kW power.

Answer 1

An agitator is a device or mechanism to put something into motion by shaking or stirring

In general, agitators usually consist of an impeller and a shaft. An impeller is a rotor located within a tube or conduit attached to the shaft. It helps enhance the pressure in order for the flow of a fluid be done

In this Design Calculation i have taken some parameters from Agitator Generic Curves
