Mixing Power Requirement Determination in Agitated Drum Using Dimensional Analysis

The mixing of granular materials in an agitated drum can be characterized by the dimensionless power equation. equation was created dimensional analysis, for which parameters affecting requirement were collected based on literature. most important these are rotational speed, loading factor, geometric and physical properties materials. is used to estimate with reasonable accuracy Power number within given range applicability , has been validated measurements. From number, mixed material calculated, as operational data selecting motor.
