Power consumption during turbulent flow in agitation tank is proportional to the ______________ of the liquid?

Correct answer: D. Density

  • A. Viscosity
  • B. Thermal conductivity
  • C. Surface tension
  • D. Density

Explanation

In turbulent agitation, the power correlation contains density through the power number, with approximately P proportional to rho N^3D^5. Viscosity is important mainly in the laminar or transitional regime.
