 125) (a) A 4.8 m cylindrical tank with a flat bottom

125) (a) A 4.8 m cylindrical tank with a flat bottom is to be converted into an agitation tank with a flat blade turbine agitator with six blades, determine the diameter of the tank (D.) (state and justify your assumption to determine (D.). Given that the turbine diameter (Da) is 0.61m and the width (W) is 0.122m. The tank is to contain four baffles, each having a width Jof 0.15m. The turbine is operated at 90rpm and the liquid in the tank has a viscosity 12cp and a density of 929kg/m". Calculate the required (power) kW of the mixer.

Propeller, pitch = 2D.; four baffles each D./J = 10; also holds for same propeller in angular off-center position with no baffles. Curve 5. Propeller; pitch = D.; four baffles each D./J = 10; also holds for same propeller in angular off-center position with no baffles. Curve 6. High-efficiency impeller; four baffles each D/J = 12
