What This Module Helps You Design
Use one consistent workflow to size and evaluate a cylindrical rapid-mix tank for coagulation. The module organizes hydraulic sizing, tank geometry, power estimation, impeller screening, rotational-speed calculation, and design checks in one workbook.
Mixing Evaluation
Estimate water power and required motor power for the target mixing intensity.
Impeller Screening
Screen candidate impeller diameters and calculate the operating rotational speed.
Calculation Coverage
Preliminary engineering calculations from design inputs through rapid-mix tank sizing and selected mixer configuration.
Design Basis
Flow rate, detention time, velocity gradient, water properties, geometry ratios, and mixer assumptions.
Design Criteria
Automatic review of key hydraulic, dimensional, and impeller-geometry parameters.
Hydraulic Sizing
Calculate liquid volume, tank diameter, liquid depth, plan area, and total depth.
Mixing Power
Estimate required water power and motor input for the target mixing intensity.
Impeller Screening
Evaluate candidate diameters against D/T, H/D, H/T, and B/D geometry checks.
Rotational Speed
Calculate required impeller speed in rev/s and rpm for the selected configuration.
Geometry Checks
Make impeller-to-tank geometry relationships visible for engineering review.
Output Summary
Summarize tank dimensions, power requirement, selected impeller, and operating speed.
