Agitator Calculation

This document calculates the hp requirement for an agitator. It provides details on the agitator speed, diameter, liquid properties, and power calculations. It determines that the total hp required is 1.5 hp. It then selects a 2 hp motor and 15:1 ratio gearbox that can provide the required 22.39252 kg-m of torque. It also calculates the shaft diameter should be 12.79528 inches to withstand the maximum torque of 1.319559 ton-inches under jammed conditions.
