Bench scale refers to a replicate at a small scale similar to the size of a countertop appliance like a toaster oven, can opener, or coffee maker. An industrial piece of equipment may be a small wind turbine, electric generator, battery charger etc. The paper will be 3-4 pages of text double-spaced and a separate page for 3 or more references.
