Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study experimentally by particle image velocimetry system (PIV) the effect of the pumping direction introduced with a 60° pitched blade turbine. In fact, an Up- and a down-pitched blades turbine were used. The particle image velocimetry technique is equipped with a double pulsed Nd:YAG laser, a CCD camera resolution and a mini-synchronizer. Therefore, several results were carried out to investigate the hydrodynamic structure and the energetic parameters in a stirred vessel.
