    Parameters
    ----------
    N : float:
        Speed of impeller, [revolutions/s]
    P : float
        Actual power required to mix, ignoring mechanical inefficiencies [W]

    Notes
    -----
    If impeller diameter is not specified, assumed to be 0.5 tank diameters.

    The first example is solved forward rather than backwards here. A rather
    different result is obtained, but is accurate.

    No check to see if the mixture if laminar is currently implemented.
    This would under predict the required time.
