"We can't just guess a bigger motor," Raj said, tapping his pen against his clipboard. "If we overpower it, we shear the product. If we under-power it, we ruin the batch. We need to calculate the Reynolds number, the power number, and the specific pumping rate." agitator design calculation xls

"Great," Miller grunted. "Call the vendor. They'll send a proposal in... three weeks." Raj nodded grimly
