Power calculation for Ribbon blender for dry cement mixing?

AI Thread Summary
For a ribbon blender designed for mixing approximately 2 tons of dry cement with a density of 1600 kg/m3, the required motor power in horsepower (hp) is a key consideration. Users suggest researching typical motor sizes used in similar mixers to estimate power needs effectively. Unlike liquid mixing, where viscosity is a critical factor, dry mixing calculations focus more on the material's bulk density and the blender's dimensions. The dimensions provided are a diameter of 1 meter and a length of 2 meters, which also influence the power requirement. Accurate power calculations are essential for optimal performance in dry cement mixing applications.

please suggest me the power in hp
Welcome to the PF.

What motor power is typically used for such mixers? If you use Google Images to find similar size mixers, you should be able to see what size motors they are using... :smile:
 
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'Technical Analysis on Titan Sub (Titanic Sub)'

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
