Agitation
A flat blade turbine agitator with disk having six blades is installed
in a tank similar to Fig. 3.4-3. The tank diameter Dt is 1.83 m, the
turbine diameter Da is 0.61 m, Dt = H, and the width W is 0.122 m.
The tank contains four baffles, each having a width J of 0.15 m.
The turbine is operated at 90 rpm and the liquid in the tank has a
velocity of 10 cp and a density of 929 kg/m3.
a) Calculate the required kW of the mixer.
b) For the same conditions, except for the solution having a
viscosity of 100,000 cp, calculate the required kW.
Solution
• For part (a) the following data are given:
Da = 0.61 m W = 0.122 m Dt = 1.83 m J = 0.15 m
90 kg
N= = 1.50 rev/s = (10 cp)(1 x 10-3 ) = 0.01 = Pa.s
60 m.s
= 929 kg/m 3
• Using Eq. (1), the Reynolds number is:
Da2 N (0.61) 2 (1.50)(929)
N '
= = = 5.187 10 4

• Using Curve 1 in Fig 3.4-5, since
Da / W = 5 and Dt / J = 12, N p = 5 for N Re

•Where tT is the mixing time in seconds. For N Re '
1000,
ft is approximate constant, then tT N2/3 is constant.
•For scaling up from vessel 1 to another vessel 2 with similar
geometry and with same power/unit volume in the turbulent
region, the mixing times are related by:
