In many industrial processes, the final technological effect related to the product quality strictly depends on the efficiency of agitation. The effects of the impeller eccentricity and liquid pumping mode of the impeller on the liquid homogenisation and momentum transfer processes are discussed in the paper. The mixing time tm in an un - baffled agitated vessel of working volume V = 0.27 m^3 was measured using thermal method. The dimensionless shear rate gamma/n and friction coefficient f on the cylindrical wall of the vessel of the volume V = 0.022 m^3 were determined by means of an electrochemical method. The distribution of both gamma/n and f values is found as a function of the impeller eccentricity eR for a propeller and HE 3 impeller. The data for dimensionless mixing time were correlated using Eq. (1). The values of gamma/n and f, averaged for the whole cylindrical wall, were described for both the propeller and HE 3 impeller, by means of Eqs. (2) - (5).
