Agitator HP and Torque Calculation

The document calculates the horsepower (HP) requirement for an agitator with a diameter of 0 meters, operating at 120 rpm in a liquid with a density of 1200 kg/m3 and viscosity of 4000 cP. The calculated HP requirement is 0 HP. It then selects a gear box with a ratio of 15 and output torque of 3561.888 N-m. Finally, it calculates the required shaft diameter as 0 mm but selects a provided shaft diameter of 160 mm.

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)= 358.2803 kg-m 3513.529 N-m 3561.888

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

Tc = (33000 *12*P)/(2* π*n*2240) = 14.0753 ton-inch

Jammed factor
If Tm is the torque to be resisted under jammed condition
Tm = 1.5*Tc = 21.11294 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) = #DIV/0! ton-inch

The greatest B.M. to be registered by the shaft below bottom bearing

Me= #DIV/0! ton-inch

Equivalent B.M. due to TM & M as per Maximum Shear Strain Enregy theory
