Q66

A bioreactor is scaled up based on equal impeller tip speed. Consider the following parameters for small and large bioreactors: Parameters Small bioreactor Large bioreactor Impeller speed N1 N2 Diameter of impeller D1 D2 Power consumption P1 P2 Assuming geometrical similarity and the bioreactors are operated in turbulent regime, what will be P_2P_1 ?
