To ensure turbulent conditions and minimum mixing time during agitation with a turbine impeller, the Reynolds number must be at least 10⁴. A stirred laboratory-scale fermenter with a turbine impeller 5 cm in diameter is operated at 800 rpm. If the density of broth being stirred is close to that of water. The mixing system is scaled up so the tank and impeller are 15 times the diameter of the laboratory equipment. The stirrer in the large vessel is operated so that the stirrer tip speed (tip speed = π N i D i) is the same as in the laboratory apparatus. How does scale-up affect the maximum viscosity.
