Xls Repack — Agitator Design Calculation

This section calculates the hydraulic performance.

1. Tip Speed (Critical for shear sensitivity) $$ \textTip Speed = \pi \times D \times \fracN60 \quad (\textm/s) $$

2. Reynolds Number ($N_Re$) Determines if the flow is laminar or turbulent. $$ N_Re = \fracD^2 \times N \times \rho\mu $$

3. Power Number ($N_p$) This is a dimensionless number dependent on impeller geometry. You typically pull this from a lookup table in Excel (VLOOKUP). agitator design calculation xls repack

4. Power Calculation ($P$) The most critical calculation for motor sizing. $$ P_\textshaft = N_p \times \rho \times N^3 \times D^5 $$ (Ensure units are consistent; typically Watts).

5. Motor Power $$ P_\textmotor = \fracP_\textshaft\eta \times \textSafetyFactor $$


Click a button (non-VBA, using Excel's Goal Seek or Solver add-in). The sheet adjusts impeller speed to reach a target power per volume (e.g., 2 kW/m³). This section calculates the hydraulic performance

Unlike media files, engineering spreadsheets often contain VBA macros that:

When a “repack” cracks these protections, the cracker must modify VBA project passwords or patch compiled code. This frequently introduces: Do not search for

Several industrial incidents (reported in CFM magazine) traced miscalculated agitator shafts to pirated spreadsheets.


[ N_c = \frac602\pi \sqrt\fracg\delta_static ] Ensures operating speed is safely below resonance.

| If you are... | Action | |---------------|--------| | Student / learner | Use free, verified spreadsheets from Cheresources or EngineeringToolbox. No repack needed. | | Working engineer | Use vendor software (LIGHTNIN, Chemineer, Mixtec) or licensed tools like Aspen Plus (mixer model) or Fingrid. Cost is minor vs. failure. | | Hobbyist / small plant | Write your own simple XLS following McCabe’s Chapter 9 (3 hours of work). Safer than any repack. |

Do not search for, download, or open “agitator design calculation xls repack”. The risk of malware + miscalculation far outweighs any convenience.


Designing an agitator without referencing standards like HEI (Heat Exchange Institute) or API 650 for tank nozzles is dangerous. Repacked versions often embed these standards into dropdown lists.
