7.4 Impeller viscometer The rheology of a Penicillium chrysogenum broth is examined using an impeller viscometer. The density of the cell suspension is approximately 1000 kg m³. Samples of broth are stirred under laminar conditions using a Rushton turbine of diameter 4 cm in a glass beaker of diameter 15 cm. The average shear rate generated by the impeller is greater than the stirrer speed by a factor of about 10.2. When the stirrer shaft is attached to a device for measuring torque and rotational speed, the following results are recorded. Stirrer speed (s¹) Torque (Nm) 0.185 3.57 × 10-6 0.163 3.45 × 10-6 0.126 3.31 x 10-6 0.111 3.20×10-6 Can the rheology be described using a power-law model? If so, evaluate K and n.
