4.1 Differentiate between mixing and agitation 4.2 State FOUR purposes of agitation 4.3 A disc turbine with six flat blades is installed centrally in a vertical baffled tank with a diameter of 2 metres. The turbine is 0.67 metres in diameter and is positioned 0.67 metres above the bottom of the tark. The turbine blades are
134mmwide. The tank is filled to a depth of 2 metres with an aqueous solution of
50%NaOHat
65\deg C, which has a viscosity of
12cPand a density of
1500k(g)/(m^(3)). The turbine impeller turns at
90rpm. 4.3.1 What is the power required? 4.3.2 The agitation system in (a) is to be used to mix a rubber-latex compound having a viscosity of 120 Pas and a density of
1120k(g)/(m^(3)). What power will be required? Will this power requirement change if the tank was baffled? Is there a need for baffles?
