Power Required for Agitator Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power = (Power Number*Density of Liquid*(((Speed of Agitator)/(60))^3)*(Agitator Diameter^5))/([g]*75)
P = (N_p*ρ_l*(((N)/(60))^3)*(D_a^5))/([g]*75)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Power - (Measured in Watt) - Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.
Power Number - Power Number Nₚ is a commonly used dimensionless number relating the resistance force to the inertia force.
Density of Liquid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Liquid is mass of a unit volume of a material substance.
Speed of Agitator - (Measured in Revolution per Minute) - Speed of Agitator is the rate of rotation of the drum or blades of a truck mixer or other device used for agitation of mixed concrete.
Agitator Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Agitator Diameter usually depends on the Diameter of the vessel it is generally 1/3rd the diameter of the tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Number: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Density of Liquid: 4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Speed of Agitator: 101 Revolution per Minute --> 101 Revolution per Minute No Conversion Required
Agitator Diameter: 150 Millimeter --> 0.15 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = (N_p*ρ_l*(((N)/(60))^3)*(D_a^5))/([g]*75) --> (10*4*(((101)/(60))^3)*(0.15^5))/([g]*75)

Evaluating ... ...

P = 1.96990243865132E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.96990243865132E-05 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.96990243865132E-05 ≈ 2E-5 Watt <-- Power
