Mixing Calculations
The level of mixing is determined by the pumping effect or dynamic response that the mixer imparts into the fluid. When a mixing impeller rotates in the fluid, it generates a combination of flow and shear. The impeller generated flow can be calculated by using the following equation:
- Flow (GPM) = (Flow_Number * RPM * Impeller_Diameter^3) / 231
To calculate power draw, use the following equation:
- Power (HP) = (Power_Number * RPM^3 * Impeller_Diameter^5 * Fluid_Specific_Gravity) / (1.525 * 10^13)

Famous quotes containing the words mixing and/or calculations:
“Political image is like mixing cement. When it’s wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there’s almost nothing you can do to reshape it.”
—Walter F. Mondale (b. 1928)
“Nowhere are our calculations more frequently upset than in war.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
