My company (Philadelphia Mixing Solutions) manufactures side entry mixers. We usually use propellers and have covered many kinds of petroleum applications.

To perform a side entry sizing properly depends on the performance characteristics of the particular mixer and propeller system. (Some designs are very efficient, some are not). You'll need to know things like: are you performing blending or BS&W control, highest gravity of the fluid, viscosity, approximate bulk tank temperature, tank geometry, and location/number/elevation of access nozzles/manways. Good sizing can make for major energy savings.

Sorry I don't have details in the process calculations because I handle the mechanical design of these mixers.
