Reactor Sizing & Scale-Up Calculator
How to Use:
- Enter the physical properties of your fluid (density, viscosity) and the reactor geometry (impeller & tank diameter).
- Input the operating conditions, primarily the agitator speed.
- Select the type of impeller you are using. This will pre-fill typical constants (Np, Ks, Nt). You can override these with your own experimental or literature values.
- Click the "Calculate Parameters" button.
- All key scale-up parameters will be calculated and displayed simultaneously.
- Click "Show Details" for a full breakdown of the formulas, theory, and step-by-step calculations for all parameters.
Dimensionless. For turbulent flow (Re > 10,000).
For average shear rate. Dimensionless.
Also called N*t_m. Dimensionless.
