Power Calculation

This document summarizes the design calculations for a 500 kiloliter stainless steel storage tank with the following parameters: - Diameter of 2500mm and height of 1965mm - Working capacity of 10000 liters - Impeller diameter of 600mm and tip speed of 7m/s - Calculations determine the impeller speed of 222.8 RPM and Reynolds number of 1336728, indicating turbulent flow - Power number of 4.2 for the Ruston turbine impeller is used to calculate the power required of 22.72 horsepower for one impeller - Factoring in 10% gland loss and 20% transmission loss, the total power required for one impeller is 29.54
