Estimating power consumption of agitators
Article Abstract:
A computer program was developed to aid project engineers in estimating the power consumption of the most common types of agitators or mixing machinery. The proposed program, which was formulated using Oldshue's formulas and Rushton's graphs, will be useful during plant design when power consumption information is critical for the setting up distribution systems.

Estimating compressed liquid volumes for alcohols and diols
Article Abstract:
The generally applied Thomas equation for estimation of compressed liquid volume V and liquid's isothermal bulk compressibility K is not applicable to alcohols and diols because of their large acentric factors, extreme polarities and strong hydrogen bonds. A modification of this equation to make it applicable for alcohols and diols is proposed.
