Hi All,
I am sitting on a little problem on how to find out Newton Number in mixing vessels ?
I need to do scale-up of a bioreactor from 1 L to 10L, 100L and then to 500L and want to have P/V as the scale-up factor.
Our management purchased a 100L vessel , which has got a motor fixed on the bottom of the vessel. I can only adjust the rpm of the stirrer and I don't know how to measure Newton Number (or to perform Torque measurements). Has anyone got experience in this kind of vessels ?
Which instrument could I use and How can I perform torque measurements ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mixing.
