Power Required for Agitator Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Power Required for Agitator?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
P=Npρl((N60)3)(Da5)[g]75
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
P=104kg/m³((101rev/min60)3)(150mm5)[g]75
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
P=104kg/m³((101rev/min60)3)(150mm5)9.8066m/s²75
Next Step Convert Units
P=104kg/m³((101rev/min60)3)(0.15m5)9.8066m/s²75
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
P=104((10160)3)(0.155)9.806675
Next Step Evaluate
P=1.96990243865132E-05W
LAST Step Rounding Answer
P=2E-5W
