Estimation of Tangential Velocity near Side Wall of Fully Turbulent Agitated Vessel without Baffles

Abstract

The tangential velocity near the side wall of a fully turbulent agitated vessel without baffles u_D was estimated based on the tangential velocity at the radial distance of the impeller tip far above and below the impeller. Comparison of the estimated tangential velocity and the observed tangential velocity yielded the simple relation. The simple relationship between momentum and heat transfer at the vessel wall was derived.
