When you open a standard agitator design spreadsheet, you will be presented with input fields and output results, typically organized as follows:
The primary calculation determines the motor power needed based on the fluid's physical properties and the chosen impeller. : : Power consumption (Watts). Npcap N sub p
Input the physical dimensions of your vessel and the desired agitator setup. Tank Diameter ( : The internal diameter of the reactor vessel. Liquid Level ( : The height of the fluid in the tank. Impeller Type
Verify the shaft can withstand the equivalent bending moment ( cap M sub e ) and torque ( ) without exceeding the material's yield stress. Critical Speed ( cap N sub c Ensure the operating speed ( ) is between 40% and 65% of the critical speed to avoid catastrophic vibration. 2. Recommended Feature: "Dynamic Safety Checker" Instead of just static formulas, add a Conditional Validation Summary that highlights risks in real-time. Agitator Design Pro - Productivity App - MWM
) and equivalent velocity to ensure process goals (e.g., solid suspension or gas dispersion) are met. Mechanical Components : Dimensions for the Stuffing Box , couplings (like clamp or flexible), and support studs. Helpful Reviews & Resources
Determines if the flow is laminar or turbulent. $$ N_Re = \fracD^2 \times N \times \rho\mu $$
