Agitator Design Calculation Pdf Download
An industrial example is given in order to demonstrate the calculation techniques for determining specific power requirements. The example calculates the power required to mix water in a vessel with a flat blade turbine at an agitator speed of 60 rpm.
An industrial example follows the Application Equation development and the correlation review. The example demonstrates how the design motor power is calculated for a vessel containing water using a flat blade turbine agitator impeller. 2ff7e9595c
