Power curve for the standard tank configuration For the transition flow region BCD which extends up to ReM - 10000, the parameters C and x in equation 5.20 vary continuously. In the fully turbulent flow region DE, the curve becomes horizontal and the power function lt gt is independent of the Reynolds number for mixing ReM. For the region ReM gt 10000 At point C on the power curve for the standard tank configuration given in Figure 5.8, enough energy is being transferred to the liquid for...

where at time t 0, Cnl 0. Adding equations 5.46, 5.50, 5.52 and 5.53 gives the equation Equation 5.54 gives the total amount of solute remaining in a system of n equal size tanks after a time t where at time t 0 the concentration in the first tank was C10 and the concentration in all other tanks was zero. The amount of solute purged from the system after time t is given by the equation The fraction x of the original solute which has been purged from the system after time t is Equation 5.56 is...

The velocity profile must have a form like that shown in Figure 1.17. The velocity is zero at the pipe wall and increases to a maximum at the centre. From Example 1.8, it is known that the shear stress vanishes on the centre-line r 0, so from Newton's law of viscosity equation 1.45 the velocity gradient must be zero at the centre. The general arrangement of a representative element of fluid is shown in Figure 1.17. A cylindrical shell of fluid of length L has its inner and outer cylindrical...
