Question

A 3-ft diameter CSTR is equipped with a l-ft diameter flat-blade turbine. At 300 rpm the reactor yields the desired result. A batch reaction is carried out in the reactor and the reaction time is the most critical factor for the operation. The same reaction is to be carried out in a 8-ft diameter reactor with a 3-ft diameter turbine impeller. What rotational speed will give the same blending time? What will be ratio of power requirement per unit volume for the two reactors? For this case, the ratio is not the same. So you c annot use nt7 = constant

Explanation / Answer

a) W2=v/r

=18288/152.4

=120

b) power ratio is 1
