Which of the following is the most suitable for handling fibrous and dense slurries ?
Correct answer: A. Cone type agitator
- A. Cone type agitator
- B. Propeller agitator
- C. Turbine agitator
- D. Radial propeller agitator
Explanation
A cone-type agitator is suitable for dense or fibrous slurries because its sweeping action helps move the bulk material and reduces stagnant regions. Propeller and turbine agitators are more commonly selected for lower-viscosity liquids and ordinary suspensions.
