Agitator Power Requirement and Mixing Intensity Calculation

This document provides information about a reactor system including its geometry, fluid properties, agitator type and operating parameters. It then describes calculations done to determine the Reynolds number, power requirement, mixing intensity, number of agitators required, and fluid flow properties. The reactor has a diameter of 50m, height of 80m, and liquid level of 70m. It uses a pitched blade turbine agitator operating at 110rpm. Calculations determine a Reynolds number of 8132, power requirement of 1.61hp, and that 2 agitators are required.

Reactor Geometry

Diameter of the reactor T = 50.0


Height of the cylindrical portion H = 80.0
Liquid level height in the reactor from bottom Z = 70.0
Total Volume of the reactor V = 2.8

Select the type of Agitator Pitched Blade T

D/T Ratio 0.5


Agitator rpm N = 110

Fluid Properties
Density ρ = 1100
Viscosity µ = 100

Calculation

1) Reynolds Number

Diameter of the agitator D = 0.6

Reynolds Number Re = 8132

2)Power Requirement

Power Number Np = 1.37

Power Required P = 1.61


(Assuming 80% Loading)

3) Mixing Intensity
