This operation been scaled up to factor of two.There are two methods of scale up
which are :
constant tip speed and constant pressure per unit volume.
Calculation for constant tip speed:
> Calculation for frequency
u1 = u 2
N1D1 = N2D2
(7)(0.2628) = N2(0.5256)
1.8396 = N2(0.5256)
N2 = 3.5 Hz

Table 1

Based on the table 1, we can conclude that Constant Tip Speed(CTS) is the most
efficient scale up method as it use less power to produce the same product
rather that Constant Pressure Per Unit Volume(CPPUV).
