Abstract
AbstractThe minimum speed required for complete suspension (Njs) is a major parameter for solids suspension in stirred tanks. Micale et al. 7th UK Conference on Mixing (2002) determined Njs by using a pressure gauge technique in a model vessel. In the present work Njs was measured by the same later technique in a more practical vessel with varying C/T ratio and the impeller direction of rotation. The results were compared to those obtained by Zwietering Chem. Eng. Sci. 8, 244–253, (1958) correlation. Agreement was found between results from present work and predictions by Zwietering's correlation with maximum difference not exceeding 17%.
