Mission Statement
Mission Statement: To create a side entry agitator test stand that allows the user to measure and calculate axial and tangential components of fluid forces, torque, and impeller speed on the motor, impeller, and shaft, incorporating a wide range of adjustable parameters.
Project Description
• Shaft protrudes through the side wall of the tank• very large, under floor tanks where little headroom is available• less costly than top entry mixers• requires less motor torque to agitate the fluid• three to five times the amount of power as a top entry mixer
• Rely heavily on impeller selection• different diameters, physical sizes and blade profiles
• Previously developed top entry test-rig• they currently have no way to benchmark these same impellers for side entry agitation
• Create a test-rig that allows reliable measurement• through a range of adjustability (Impellers/Speeds/etc.)• similar concepts to the top entry test rig• different array of: bending moments, torque and fluid forces
• Very beneficial to our customer• benchmark existing and future impeller designs for side entry applications.
Customer Requirements
Four Most Important Customer Needs:• Fluid Tight Seal• Calibration Incorporation• Tangential Fluid Forces• Fluid Thrust Force

Shaft, Motor, & Impeller Integration Sub-System
Explanation of this sub-system & components:Shaft: Transmits torque & angular velocity via the motor & impellerCoupler: Transmits power between the motor output shaft & shaftMotor: Provides Mechanical Energy to the systemImpeller: “Work” horse of the system: agitates the fluid to be mixed

SMI: System Diagram w/ Impellers
•Given Impeller Dia.: 4.5 – 10”
•Off Wall Distance: TYP. 0.5D
<0.4D, Flow Drops Off
>0.5D, Minimal Additional Flow, Adds Cost for Minimal flow benefit
•MATL: 316 S.S.

SMI: Shaft Design Selection
Shaft Length, (From Tank Wall) = APROX. 2.25 – 5”
SMI: Shaft Design Selection PUGH
•Best Choice: Solid, Continuously Long Shaft
SMI: Shaft Design Prelim. Equations
• Static Cantilever Beam Analysis
• Mod-Goodman Shaft Analysis
• Natural Frequency Ck
SMI: Shaft to Shaft Coupling
Set Screw DiscGear
• All must have high torsional strength, for accurate fluid force & thrust measurement
• Minimize parallel mis-alignment (RIGID) for accurate fluid force & thrust measurement
• Provide a secure connection between the (2) elements
• Long lasting and minimal maintenance/overhaul required
Manuf: LoveJoy Req’s:
1) Required Max Torque
2) Motor Speed/HP Req.
3) Shaft/Motor Shaft Dia.
Thru-Bolt
SMI: Shaft Coupling PUGH
•Best Choice: Thru Bolt or Set Screw
• Thru Bolt for Added Rigidity & Resistance to Torsion
SMI: Impeller/Shaft Connection
Based on given ID of provided impellers, (3) conditions could exist:
1) Shaft Dia. < Impeller Dia.
- need for a spacing collar
2) Shaft Dia. > Impeller Dia.
- need for a reducer
3) Impeller has threaded spacer that screws onto end of shaft (Similar to 2)
SMI: Impeller/Shaft Connection PUGH
•Best Choice: Spacing Collar
• Method currently being used by industry
• OR
• Direct connect to shaft, if Shaft OD=Impeller ID
SMI: Motor Selection
• DC or AC Motor
• Variable Drive (per Measurement & Integration)
• Highly dependent on “Physical Stand”
• Package Size/Weight/Mounting Options
• Capable of reaching 1100 RPM under load, with greatest thrust/torque producing impeller
• Spec’d based upon required shaft size
• Consider Side-Loading Effect on Motor Bearings/Life
•NEMA Rating for environment/safety

Axial and Tangential Fluid Force Measurement Concept Generation
Measurement Technology:Strain Gauge; Donut, Pancake, Canister, or Column Load Cell; or Accelerometer.
Location of Measurement Devices:On the motor mount, beneath the coupler, or on the end of the shaft.
Motor Mount Design:Parallel Plates, Lever Arms, Shear Support Pins, Load Cell Cocoon, or Parallel Plates with Pointed Pivot.

Axial and Tangential Fluid Force Measurement Concept Evaluation
Axial and Tangential Fluid Force Measurement Concept Selection
Three Most Critical Criteria:• Resists Affects of Shear• Measuring Sensitivity• Appropriate Time for Setup
Low Profile, Tension & Compression Load Cell Mounted to Parallel Plates with Shear Pins optional depending on supporting calculations.

Slip Ring:• Electrical connection through a rotating assembly• Low speed limitations• Ring wear and dust brushes impede signal transfer• Requires routine maintenance for cleaning
Torque and RPM Measurement Subsystem
Rotary Transformer:• Tolerates high speeds• Non-contact• More accurate• Requires sophisticated signal condition instrumentation• Less tolerant to extraneous loading conditions (bending moments and thrust forces)
Torque and RPM Measurement Subsystem
Digital Telemetry:• Software driven allowing changes on the fly• High resolution, sensitivity, and accuracy• More immune to vibration problems• Smaller, lighter, and more compact
Torque and RPM Measurement Subsystem
Torque Transducer:• Utilizes a system of strain gauges (Wheatstone Bridge)• Uses slip rings or rotary transformers to power and transfer strain gauge data
Torque and RPM Measurement Subsystem
Torque from Motor Constants:• Ideal for direct drive systems• Only requires measurement of motor current
