Experimental study of the up-pitching blade effect with a PIV application

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the blade shape on the characteristic of the fl ow patterns in a stirred tank. A new impeller blade design has been proposed. It is characterized by a converging hollow. The investigations of the fl ow structure generated in the vessel are made by using the computer code ANSYS CFX (version 16.0). The analysis has shown that the converging hollow blade yields highly radial fl ows which gave an increase in the radial velocity by 35% with less power consumption than the fl at blade. Also, the effectiveness of the energy dissipation and the quality of mixing has been obviously noted. A validation test of our predicted results with other literature data was done, and a satisfactory agreement has been found.
