Power consumption measurements in a liquid vessel that is mixed using a vibratory agitator

Abstract The power consumption measurements are reported for a reciprocating plate agitator for different Newtonian liquids mixed in a tubular vessel. The maximum power consumption is calculated by multiplying the maximum force acting on the shaft and the maximum velocity of the reciprocating plate. Lounes and Thibault (see reference 7) reports a general form of the results of this investigation.
