Example :- Calculate the power in W/m required for mixing an oil of relative density 0.93 and viscosity 18 N.s/m² in a tank of 15 Cm diameter and 20 Cm height filled to three-fourths of its volume with oil, if the speed of the agitator is 500 rpm. Calculate the speed of agitator if the same mixing is carried out at the same Reynolds number in a doubled volume tank.
