- 1. Bioreactors, where vortex is formed, another dimensionless number, __________ is useful.
Options- A. Stanton
- B. Rayleigh
- C. Bond
- D. Froude Discuss
- 2. The effect of increasing the stirrer speed in an unbaffled stirred tank reactor is that
Options- A. a small increase in stirrer speed will cause the liquid to enter the turbulent flow regime
- B. as the stirrer speed increases, the liquid will continue to circulate and then become turbulent
