Leutolin is produced in a cylindrical stirred tank bioreactor. Lab scale tank diameter = 1 2 cm , lab scale impeller speed = 6 0

Leutolin is produced in a cylindrical stirred tank bioreactor. Lab scale tank diameter =12 cm, lab scale impeller speed =600 rpm, Htank/Dtank =1.0, Dimpeller/Dtank =0.33, liquid density =1000 kg/m3, viscosity =1.0 cP. The tank is scaled to 10,000 L. a. Estimate the impeller and tank diameters (in m) for the 10,000 L tank. b. Estimate the rotational speed (in rps) for the 10,000 L tank when scale-up is done using the constant power per unit volume approach. c. Estimate the power required (in Watts) to operate the 10,000 L tank. Disk turbine impeller is used in both scales.
Show all the steps and calculations, the answers should match these:Start by estimating scale factor and then dimensions and rotational speed in the large tank. Estimate Re, then P. Answers: (a) Dtank =2.31 m, Dimpeller =0.76 m,(b) n =1.39 rps,(c) P =4086 W.
