Tank Baffles Design Calc
Version 1.0
by Daniel de la Torre
Process Engineer
Intro This template contains a series of calculation sheets to assist you in calculating the baffles dimension and position in a tank, when the tank has a central agitator
Please note that if agitator is off-centered normally is not needed to install the baffles, as the effect is relatively similar, with a more clean installation
The main objectives are to provide a reference about baffles dimension and installation distances details a compare results between more than one calculation method
Setup 1. There are 2 worksheets, one with Metric units (SI) and one with Imperial units
2. Individual worksheets are protected against inadvertant data entry. Unlocked cells appears with blue text color. No password needed to unlock
3. To change any other cells, unlock the workbook (from the Tools/Protection pull-down menu)
4. The baffle size is calculated according to 2 methods, the one called cal 1 using the viscosity of the product, while the one called calc 2 not using it
See Calculations point for more details
Data Entry 5. Input data appears with blue text color
Results 6. Results appear in black text with yellow backgound
Revisions 7. Version 1.0 First version
Calculations 8. Calculations are based on following assumptions
