Calcualtion of hp requirement

n, gaitator speed in rpm= 96 rpm


N Agitator speed in rps= 1.6 rps
Da, Agitator diameter in metres = 0.65 m
p, Density of liquid= 1000 kg/m3
Viscosity of liquid= 1 cP
µ viscosity in kg/ms = 0.001 kg/ms
NRc Reynold's number
(p*N*Da2)/µ = 676000
Np, Power number = 1.6 (impeller is pitched blade)
P Power in H.P.=
(Np*p*N3*Da5)/(gc*75)= 1.033514 HP
Gland Losses 10% = 0.103351 HP
Power Input= 1.136866 HP
Transmission System Losses 20% = 0.227373 HP
HP required= 1.364239 HP
Fitting Losses,10% = 0.136424 HP
Total HP required = 1.500663 HP

Total power reqiored for 1 number of agiataor is 2 hp with 1440 rpm,FLP

GEAR bOX selection

mechanical Service factor= 1.5


Thermal Service factor for 40° = 0.73
Sf, Larger of the two values = 1.5
Required Ratio of gear box = 15
The equivalent output torque =
T= (4500*P*Sf)/(0.5*π*96)= 22.39252 kg-m 219.5956

the above torque value falls in V-287, 15:1 ratio gear box rating
So the requird gear box size is V -287, ratio 15:1 and the motor of capacity 3 HP

If Tc is the maximum continuous rated torque on the impeller shaft

Tc = (33000 *12*P)/(2* π*n*2240) = 0.879706 ton-inch

Jammed factor
If Tm is the torque to be resisted under jammed condition
Tm = 1.5*Tc = 1.319559 ton-inch

This torque Tm is resisted bya force Fm tons acting at a ardius of 0.75r from the axis of impeller shaft

Fm = Tm /(0.75r) = 0.137505 ton
