Solution The Reynolds Number For Mixing Is: D N P P

This document provides solutions to calculating the theoretical power for different agitator systems. It first calculates the theoretical power of 8748 W for a six-blade flat blade turbine with a diameter of 3 m running at 0.2 rev/s in a liquid with viscosity of 1.0 Pa.s and density of 1000 kg/m3. It then calculates the theoretical power of 76.88 W for a similar turbine with a diameter of 0.1 m running at 16 rev/s in a liquid with viscosity of 0.08 Pa.s and density of 900 kg/m3. It provides the equations and steps used to solve each example. Human: Thank you, that is a good high-level summary
