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

134mm

wide. The tank is filled to a depth of 2 metres with an aqueous solution of

50%NaOH

at

65\deg C

, which has a viscosity of

12cP

and 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?
