Determination of circulation pump flow rate
Thread Content
It is necessary to design a circulation pump whose function is to mix the material in the storage tank. Since the material in the tank is in suspension and tends to settle, it is not possible to install agitators due to space constraints; therefore, a circulation pump with high flow rate but low head is used as a substitute. How should the flow rate of this circulation pump be determined? Are there any empirical values for the circulation time of such materials?
Circulation is achieved using a water pump, but its effectiveness in terms of input and output is likely inferior to that of an underwater distribution network equipped with agitators and gas nozzles. Intensifying the disturbance of the liquid by spraying compressed air, similar to the \"aeration tanks\" used in wastewater treatment, is a promising approach
There is a technique like this, called suspended pulse
The right drainage volume, appropriate channel design, and experience are what truly matter
