2. Consider scale-up from a lab-scale reactor of 5 L working volume to a pilot-scale of 200 L vessel. The small reactor has a height-to-diameter ratio of 2.5. The impeller diameter is one- third of the inside tank diameter. Agitator speed is 800 rpm and disc-turbine impellers are used. If power per unit volume (P/V) and geometric similarity are maintained, determine agitator speed (rpm) and Reynolds number of the pilot-scale vessel assuming the density of 1,050 kg/m' and viscosity of 1.1 CP.
