Scale-up calculator

Linear geometric scale from pilot volume to plant volume.

Calculator

Model / formula

Geometric scale-up: length × f → volume × f³, surface × f²

Linear dimension scale factor f (pilot → plant)

Result

Volume scale ∝ f³ = 8.0000 Area scale ∝ f² = 4.0000 (e.g. jacket / heat transfer hint)

Idealized — real scale-up needs mixing, heat transfer, and kinetics.
