Agitator sizing in non-cylindrical tanks
Agitator sizing in non-cylindrical tanks
(OP)
Dear All,
I'm trying to size an agitator for an horizontal tank (to be more specific, for an iso-container I'm using for batch production).
My problem is that in the literature (for instance Coulson & Richardson - vol.6) I am not being able to find anything to solve the question (apparantly the commonly used correlations are valid only to the conventional, vertical tanks)...
Does anyone know where I can find some documentation about this?
Thank you!

I tend to second Stonecold
that the "dead" areas or pockets of any environment that requires mixing,can only be broken& transported into thorough mixing process through
withdrawal into a pump suction and then re-injection into the other mixed/under mixing bulk
