Question

Fluid height in the tank is H = 16 m and Diameter of the tank, D = 14 m. Calculate the slurry volume in the tank.

(a) 2450 m^3

(b) 2463 m^3

(c) 3450 m^3

(d) 3463 m^3

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

The query is from Power Requirements for Mixing in division Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) 2463 m^3

The explanation is: Fluid Height in Tank , H = 16 m and Diameter of tank, D = 14 m

Slurry volume in tank = π * D^2*H/4 =  π * (14)^2*16 / 4 = 2463 m^3.
