The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the blade shape on the characteristic of the flow patterns in a stirred tank. A new impeller blade design has been proposed. It is characterized by a converging hollow. The investigations of the flow 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 flows which gave an increase in the radial velocity by 35% with less power consumption than the flat 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.
