Just-suspension conditions were studied in a dished base baffled cylindrical tank with internal diameter, T=155 mm using two variables of impeller-to-tank geometry, D=0.3T and 0.5T. The performance of the alternative geometries was studied using a conventional down-pumping 45° four pitched blade tur...
