2-phase reaction conducted in a 200-L pilot plan reactor gave the best results with the agitator speed set at 200 RPM. The agitator has a pitch-blade turbine impeller (Np =1.4) with a diameter of 0.4-m. The average density of the
reaction mix was determined to be 0.9-gm/cm3 and viscosity is 0.001Pa.s.
What is the estimated power draw of the impeller motor? If this reaction were to be scaled up to a 10-m3 reactor, what would the power draw be for the plant reactor? Confirm turbulent regime, assume dynamic scale-up and 80% motor efficiency. (P=Np(pN^3d^5)
