Rules of Thumb: Scale-up - Features - The Chemical Engineer
WEBOct 26, 2023 · Here, nt m is the dimensionless mixing time. A value of nt m = 39 arises for a typical tank having D T = 3D, and H = D T. We can now use this information to predict the new mixing time if the value of impeller speed changes during scale-up. Remember this applies to one specific design of impeller and tank geometry during turbulent mixing.
