A Study of the Effects on Dissolution Constants and Activation Energy in a Stirred Tank

It is studied the effects of the agitation velocity and three different geometries of agitators on the dissolution constant and the activation energy of solids with spherical geometry in a particular solvent. Subsequently, the temperature was varied in order to determine the effect of the two variables studied. It was found that the dissolution constants follows the Hixson-Crowell model and also that the activation energy is a function of the agitator's velocity and the agitator's geometry.
