A"stirrer"tank"in"your"plant"has"a"volumetric"capacity"of"500"l"and"a"diameter"of"0,7"m.
The"stirrer"has"an"impeller"disc"geometry"with"a"diameter"of"0,5"m"and"a"blade"width"of"0,1"m.
"@"What"is"the"power"required"to"agitate"an"aqueous"slurry"containing"20%"weight"sand"at"50"rpm?
"@"What"is"the"power"required"to"achieve"complete"dispersion"of"the"slurry?
"@"At"which"stirrer"speed"is"complete"dispersion"achieved?

Additional"data:"
"@"Solid"density"of"sand"is"3"g/cm3"and"has"a"mean"particle"size"of"100"microns
"@"Viscosity"measured"for"the"slurry"is"of"10"cp;"you"can"assume"it"is"a"Newtonian"fluid
"@"The"agitator"is"positioned"at"1/4"of"the"total"height"of"the"tank"from"the"bottom
