A disk turbine is used to stir a liquid in a baffled tank. To design the agitator, experiments are performed in a lab-scale model with a turbine diameter of 0.05 m and a turbine impeller speed of 600 rpm. The liquid viscosity is 0.01 Pa s while the liquid density is 1000 kg/m
. The actual application has a turbine diameter of 0.5 m, an impeller speed of 600 rpm, a liquid viscosity of 0.1 Pa s and a liquid density of 1000 kg/m
. The effect of gravity is negligible. If the power required in the lab-scale model is
and the estimated power for the actual application is
, then the ratio
isYour answerChoose one option.

Consider two non-interacting tanks-in-series as shown in figure. Water enters TANK 1 at
cm
/s and drains down to TANK 2 by gravity at a rate
(cm
/s). Similarly, water drains from TANK 2 by gravity at a rate
(cm
/s) where
and
represent levels of TANK 1 and TANK 2, respectively (see figure). Drain valve constant
cm
/s and cross-sectional areas of the two tanks are
cm
. At steady state operation, the water inlet flow rate is
cm
/s. The transfer function relating the deviation variables
(cm) to flow rate
(cm

100 kg of a feed containing 50 wt.% of a solute C is contacted with 80 kg of a solvent containing 0.5 wt.% of C in a mixer-settler unit. From this operation, the resultant extract and raffinate phases contain 40 wt.% and 20 wt.% of C, respectively. If E and R denote the mass of the extract and raffinate phases, respectively, the ratio E/R is
