Question: In a polymerization operation, a liquid mixture ( density , = 1 6 5 0 6 0 kg / m 3 , viscosity, = 8

In a polymerization operation, a liquid mixture (density,=165060 kg/m3, viscosity, =8005mPa.s) is agitated in a tank by a propeller mixer with a diameter (D) of 0.50.05 m. You are provided data for the power number (Np) versus Reynolds number (Re) for the propeller below
in Figure Q3. If the impeller rotation rate (N) is estimated at 151 rpm,
(i) What is the expected value of the power (P) of the motor required to drive the impeller?
[10 marks]
(ii) What is the error in the estimate of the power? Show all steps.
