Abstract

The conventional Agitators or the impellers of conventional agitator rotates in one direction only. These type agitators are commonly used in process industry for mixing of low viscous fluids. Due to rotation in one direction only it creates particular flow pattern in fluids hence the particles tend to stick to the walls of container. In order to have homogeneous mixing the impeller of Agitator must rotate bi-directionally i.e. during the one cycle this will form turbulent flow pattern leading to creation of irregular flow pattern and resulting into thoroughly mixed fluid mixture.
