Reactor Geometry

4 Diameter of the reactor T = 50.0

4 Height of the cylindrical portion H = 80.0

4 Liquid level height in the reactor from bottom Z = 70.0

Total Volume of the reactor V = 2.8 m3

1 Select the type of Agitator Pitched Blade Turbine

4 D/T Ratio 0.5

Agitator rpm N = 110 rpm

Fluid Properties

Density ρ = 1100 kg/m3Viscosity µ = 100 cp

Calculation

1) Reynolds Number

Diameter of the agitator D = 0.6 m

Reynolds Number Re = 8132

2)Power Requirement

Power Number Np = 1.37

Power Required P = 1.61 hp(Assuming 80% Loading)

3) Mixing Intensity

Pumping Number Nq = 0.6

Equivalent Diameter Teq = 5.00 ft

Volumetric flow rate Q = 9.9 ft3/sec

Cross sectional area A = 13.6 ft2

Velocity V = 0.729 ft/sec
