Agitator Design

This document summarizes the design of an agitator. It specifies the materials used, liquid properties, required rotation speed, power number, and calculations to determine the required horsepower, shaft diameter, and sweep diameter. Based on a liquid density of 1200 kg/m3, viscosity of 50 CP, and required rotation of 200 RPM, the calculations determine a required horsepower of 1.336065 HP (rounded to 1 HP). The shaft diameter is calculated to be 54.44 mm and sweep diameter is 60 mm.

HP CALCULATION

1 Reynolds number for agitated liquids Nre = ( Da² x N x p / µ ) 288

Nre is in between 10 & 10000. Hence fluid is Transition Flow.

2 Impeller Tip speed ts


Peripherial Speed of an impeller = π x Da x N 0.628319 m/s

3 Power Required for Baffled Tank P = Np x p x N^3 x Da^5 0.048384 watt


4.8384E-05 kw
6.4884E-05 HP

4 Power Loss
a) Losses in mechanical seal (assumed) = 0.5 HP
b) Drive Losses
i) Gear box is used = 0.836 HP
ii) Gear box is not used = 0.209 HP

Approximately power loss in the agitation = 1.336 HP


Total Power required for agitation = 1.336065 HP

Hence this power is rounded to the standard electric motor rating i.e 1 HP
