Crystallization is a process where solid particles of specified size and shape are formed from a homogeneous phase. It may also consider as a solid-liquid separation process in which mass transfer of a solute occurs from the liquid to the solid phase. It is desired to scale up a batch crystallization of an antibiotic based on experiments with a 1 liter crystallizer. The use of a 3cm diameter impeller at a speed of 800rpm led to good crystallization results. For maintaining power per volume constant upon scale up to 300 liters, calculate the value at large scale of:
i. the impeller diameter
ii. the speed
*The solvent has the same density and viscosity as water
 Crystallization is a process where solid particles of specified size and
