A Huston turbine impeller with a diameter of 0.217 m is used in a tank with a diameter of 0.65 m filled with liquid to a height of 0.65 m. Four baffles (baffles) are used to avoid vortex, all with a width of 0.01 m. The turbine operates at 275 rpm with a liquid that has a density of 1000 kg/m³ and a viscosity of 0.020Pa.s. a) Considering that the mechanical efficiency is 50%, what is the power in HP of the commercial engine that you should specify?
