Mechanical Operations(Chemical Engineering ) Questions and Answers
Question 1. During agitation of liquids, the
Froude number is independent for the curves between power number and Reynolds number in baffled system
Power number becomes independent of impellers Reynolds number at high Reynolds number, but is dependent on the geometry of the impeller
Froude number is used to account for the effect of surface (e.g., the centre vortex) on the power number
