Topic: Agitation
A flat-blade turbine agitator with disk having six blade isinstalled in a tank. The tank diameter (Dt) is 1.83 m,the turbine diameter (Di) is 0.61 m and the width (w) is0.122 mm. The tank contains four baffles, each having width (J) of0.15 mm. The turbine operate (N) at 90 rpm and the liquid in tankhas a viscosity (u) of 10 cP and a density (p) of 929kg/m3. It is desired to design a small pilot unit with avessel volume (V) of 2.0 L so that effects of various processvariables on the system can be studied in the laboratory. The rateof the mass transfer appear to be important in this system so thescale-down should be on this basis. Design the new systemspecifying sizes, rpm and power.
Include all calculations and graphs if possible . Thank you.
