605·36 Llbrary Newark Colle e of Enp:lneerfn ABSTRA.CT Experimental batch heat-trans~er data were obtained for both Newtonian ~nd pseudoplastic liquids in a baffled agi tated vessel. The fluids tested had flo1f behavior indexes between 0.36 and 1.0; and the apparent viscosity ranged from 1 to 1200 centipoise. Four types of impellers (anchor, paddle, propeller, and disk and vane turbine) were studied using eleven separate impellers. The probable error in the measured heat trall.sfer coefficient was ± 20 percent. The effects of the generalized Reynolds number, generalized Prandtl number, and viscosity ratio were studied. In addition the effect of impeller diameter was studied for paddles, propellers, and turbines; and the effect of impeller width was studied ~or the paddles and turbines. The vertical height of the impeller above the bottom of the vessel was shown to be a significant variable. The data for the Newtonian liquids, in general, substantiated presently accepted correlations. For the pOi..Jer laH pseudoplas tic fluids bJO correlations 1.Jere developed ..
