Q1. What is tip speed, and how do you calculate it from the laboratory to the pilot plant?
Ans. 
Tip speed is the speed at the outer edge of a rotating object, calculated by multiplying the radius by the angular velocity.
• Tip speed is the speed at the outer edge of a rotating object.

• It is calculated by multiplying the radius of the object by the angular velocity.

• In the laboratory, tip speed can be calculated using the formula: Tip Speed = 2 * π * Radius * RPM.

• In the pilot plant, the same formula can be used to calc...read more

Q9. How to calculate distillation rate?
Ans. 
Distillation rate can be calculated by dividing the amount of distillate collected by the time taken to collect it.
• Calculate the amount of distillate collected in a given time period.

• Divide the amount of distillate by the time taken to collect it to get the distillation rate.

• Express the distillation rate in units such as liters per hour or gallons per minute.
