Agitator Design Calculation - Xls

—vertical strips on the tank wall that prevent the fluid from simply swirling like a whirlpool and instead force it to turn over top-to-bottom. 4. Mechanical Integrity

$$(1200) \cdot (1) \cdot (0.7)^2 / 0.1 = 5,880$$ (Transition/Turbulent - Acceptable).

Calculate absorbed power, torque, and recommended motor horsepower. Tab 4: Mechanical Safety Check

A spreadsheet allows for rapid iteration of ratios. The most critical is the —vertical strips on the tank wall that prevent

Calculate the required speed based on tip speed limitations or process pumping requirements. Tip speed ( Vtcap V sub t ) is calculated as:
