5.1 Calculating power dissipation
We calculate the power required to drive a marine propeller-type agitator, reference A 1 [J 3 802] (p = d, np = 3, d = 0.3 m, N = 6 s-1), mounted in a standard vessel (H = D, d /D = 1/3, Y/d = 1, ) containing a liquid with density ρ = 1,200 kg/m3 and viscosity η = 3.6 x 10-3 Pa · s. We deduce the power dissipated per unit volume of liquid P / V, as well as the peripheral velocity of the agitator.
