✦ Synopsis

In this present study in liquid-solid contactors using 6-blade (flat) turbine agitators, an attempt has been made to correlate the system parameters useful for scale-up under turbulent agitation conditions, where the power number is constant. A new correlation involving modified Froude number along with the agitation characteristics, is proposed for the estimation of minimum speed required to maintain complete suspension.
