Question

Furfural is extracted from water by toluene at 25oC in an agitated vessel like the one in Figure . The feed enters at 20,400 lb/h, while the solvent enters at 11,200 lb/h. For a residence time of 2 minutes, estimate, for either phase as the dispersed phase:(a) dimensions of the mixing vessel and diameter of the flat-blade turbine impeller; (b) minimum rate of rotation of the impeller for
complete and uniform dispersion; (c) the power requirement of the agitator at the minimum rotation rate.
