New Approach to the Scale-Up Problem in Tumbling Blenders

Our hypothesized set of the variables that are believed to govern particle dynamics in tumbling blenders is shown in Table 1. 

Using these variables and the Rayleigh method, the resulting equation is 

Applying the rule of dimensional homogeneity and making c and e the unrestricted constants leads to 

To solve Equation (3), a correlation relating particle velocities to vessel radius and rotation rate is discussed in the following sections.
