Agitator for Tank
Agitator for Tank
(OP)
I have some problem to calculate the agitating system on my tank. I already known if the agitator position on top of tank, but I didn't know if it position on side of tank. How to calculate motor power req'd, size of shaft and everything that relation with the agitating system.
Who will help me to solve my problem?
Thanks

Try these websites:
www.sharpemixers.com
www.lightnin-mixers.com
www.chemineer.com
Sharpe mixers offered an EXCEL spreadsheet that was very helpful in sizing mixers and finding motor horsepowers
Good luck

Why is it impossible? I think I am missing something, could you provide us more information. What is the tank you are mixing a CFSTR or somethng else?

I will design agitating system on insulation storage tank with demension ID 3400 mm and 5400 height. The tank have 2.5" pipe steam heater on 300 mm elevation from bottom plate. It use saturated steam with 7 bar pressure. The agitator will be located on side of tank. Fluid content is Recover Oil. Temperature input content 43 degree celcius, Specifig Gravity 0.9, Viscocity 9 cP. The creteria the system is the content shall be reach 70 degree celcius on a half of tank capacity on 8 hours operation.
I will be appreciated for your help.
Thanks

Plenty mixers have a good letrature on side entry mixers,they can provide you with required charts.

Be careful!

For leelaphani & isofuncurves, I appreciated for your comments, but if both of you are doubt about the pressure, it make me confussed. Becuase my design referred from the same tank on site, but my tank have more capacity 10 m3 from existing. The existing tank never get problem almost 5 years. The steam heating pressure on the existing tank is 6-7 bars. So maybe you have any comments for this?
For Shahin71, If you don't mind, can show me where I can get the charts or diagrams for that case. I really need it to solve my problem.
Thanks

RE: Agitator for Tank
Agitation and fluid motion is a very complex subject. There is a lot of publication about it, and respected companys investing in research & development. NJIT (www.njti.edu) has some very good publications. There are also computer programs to do projects on agitators, including calculation of the shaft; type and position of impellers, power, speed, etc... Is easier than do all by hand. (www.sharpemixers.com) (www.cerebroinc.com) (www.ualberta.ca) (www.purdue.edu). You have good sources of research here.
