Existing:-Pitch Blade Turbine Agitator

This document contains calculations for the power requirements, torque, and shaft sizing of two agitator systems in a vessel. The first system uses a pitch blade turbine (PBT) agitator with two impellers and requires 3.05 hp of motor power. The second system uses a hydrofoil agitator with two impellers and requires 2.65 hp of motor power. Both agitator shaft designs were determined to be safe based on comparisons of stress calculations to material yield stresses.
