Results of carried out experiments (blending time and impeller power input) confirm that the down pumping axial flow impellers exhibit better blending efficiency than the high-speed rotary impellers with prevailing radial discharge flow. It follows from presented results that, especially for large scale industrial realisations, the axial flow impellers with profiled blades bring maximum energy savings in comparison with the standard impellers with inclined flat blades (pitched blade impellers).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={BLENDING CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-SPEED ROTARY IMPELLERS}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84893/PDF/01-paper-Fort.pdf}, doi={10.2478/cpe-2013-0035}, keywords={high-speed rotary impeller, turbulent flow, impeller power input, blending time, impeller blending efficiency}, }
