Impeller Tip Speed and RPM: Preserve the Diameter Basis
A rotor’s RPM needs its diameter before it becomes a tip velocity. Keep those two inputs together in a scale comparison.

Mixing Reynolds Number: Use the Impeller Length Scale
A stirred-vessel Reynolds number uses an impeller scale. Do not copy a pipe-flow formula without defining the geometry.

Mixing Power Number: Keep Speed and Diameter Exponents Visible
A mixing-power estimate can be very sensitive to speed and diameter. Expose those exponents before comparing rounded motor figures.

Impeller Pumping Rate and Blend Time Are Different Quantities
An impeller’s pumping rate is a local discharge quantity. It is not automatically a tank blending-time certificate.

Normalized Tracer Response: Define the Mixing Endpoint Before Comparing Time
Define what concentration agreement means before comparing two reported mixing times.

Tracer Injection and Observation Position: Separate Transport Delay from Blending
A delayed tracer signal can reflect the route from injection to observation. It does not identify a global mixing time by itself.

Draft Tubes and Recirculation Loops: State the Internal Flow Boundary
When a proposal includes a draft tube, review the defined circulation passage rather than treating the tube as extra storage volume.
