Baffle width is normally taken as ______________ times the tank diameter?
Correct answer: A. 0.1-0.12
- A. 0.1-0.12
- B. 0.4-0.5
- C. 0.45-0.6
- D. 0.2-0.45
Explanation
Tank baffles are commonly sized with a width of approximately 0.1 to 0.12 times the tank diameter. This is enough to suppress swirling and improve mixing without imposing excessive power demand.
