The effect of axial impeller geometry on the link between power and flow numbers

Stirred vessels are used to facilitate mixing processes across a wide range of industries. Their performance can often be predicted with certain characteristics the agitator, like dimensionless power and flow numbers. Since there exists large number agitator designs geometries, it is desirable able predict these using models rather than rely on previous experimental data. In this study, we use an angular momentum balance combined computational fluid dynamics correlate power, flow, mixer geometry down-pumping pitched blade turbine geometries. The developed from results allow us (or vice versa) for geometries investigated. We tested two methods measurement rate found that choice method affect relationship between impeller geometry.
