Reactor Geometry

6 Diameter of the reactor T = 2.2

6 Height of the cylindrical portion H = 3.7

6 Liquid level height in the reactor from bottom Z = 3.5

Total Volume of the reactor V = 15.0 m3

1 Select the type of Agitator Pitched Blade Turbine

4 D/T Ratio 0.4

Agitator rpm N = 60 rpm

Fluid Properties
Density ρ = 0.89 kg/m3
Viscosity µ = 300 cp

Calculation

1) Reynolds Number

Diameter of the agitator D = 0.7 m

Reynolds Number Re = 1

2)Power Requirement

Power Number Np = 1.4 Select the value from Power number chart based on
Reynolds number
Power Required P = 0.00 hp Use 5.5 for Rushton six blade turbine & 3.2 for
(Assuming 80% Loading) concave 180 degree turbine
3) Mixing Intensity

Pumping Number Nq = 0.72 Select the value from Pumping number chart based
on Reynolds number
Equivalent Diameter Teq = 8.76 f Use 0.72 for Rushton six blade turbine & 0.7
for concave 180 degree turbine
Volumetric flow rate Q = 8.7 f3/sec

Cross sectional area A = 40.9 f2
