Agitator Power Requirement and Mixing Intensity Calculation

The document provides specifications for a reactor including its diameter, height, liquid level, volume, agitator type, agitator rpm, fluid properties, and calculations for Reynolds number, power requirement, mixing intensity, volumetric flow rate, and number of agitators required. The reactor diameter is 50 inches, height is 80 inches, and liquid level is 70 inches. The agitator selected is a pitched blade turbine with a D/T ratio of 0.5 operating at 110 rpm. Fluid density is 1100 kg/m3 and viscosity is 100 cp. Calculations determine a Reynolds number of 8132, power requirement of 1.61 hp, pumping number of 0.6, volumetric flow rate of 9
