ABSTRACT
The Turbine Mixer was Fabricated at the Mechanical Engineering Workshop of Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu
The method of the fabrication of the Turbine Mixer involves a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard Turbine in relation to the dimension of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in. making out, cutting out to sizes, rolling/folding, welding, body filling, glass- papering and painting. The total surface area is 10741.5cm2
The first step taken in the fabrication of the said project was the selection of the material suitable for the construction.
The material used in the construction were locally sourced and were selected to suit the desired purpose. The mild steel was used instead of galvanized steel due to its relative low cost. The mild steel; was coated with point to prevent corrosion attack and determination of the work.
The dimension of the project were as follow 31.0cm for the height and 21.0cm for the diameter. The volume capacity of the cylinder is 10,7415cm3. the average speed of the turbine mixer is 125pm. The turbine mixer is manually operated a design that is meant to save cost.
