Question:
In the scaleup of a stirred-tank process involving a shear-sensitive suspension, it is important to keep the maximum shear rate below a critical value.
(a) If scaleup requires a 10-fold increase in the tank diameter and if the power per unit volume and geometric ratios are kept constant, by what factor will the shear rate change?
(b) What could be done to keep the maximum shear rate unchanged?

I have done job as Embedded System Engineer for just four months but after it i have decided to open my own lab and to work on projects that i can launch my own product in market. I work on different softwares like Proteus, Mikroc to program Embedded Systems. My basic work is on Embedded Systems. I have skills in Autocad, Proteus, C++, C programming and i love to share these skills to other to enhance my knowledge too.
