Experimental studies and CFD modeling on the effect of baffle V cut on power consumption, using a standard turbine agitator, has been presented. Modification was done by introducing a V cut in the baffle. The power consumption for the agitated vessel fitted with standard plain baffle is higher than that of the V cut baffle. Power characteristics for three different types of baffle combination were obtained within transition and turbulent regimes of the fluid flow in the agitated vessel. CFD simulations have been used to predict power consumption. The simulation results have been compared with the experimental data obtained on a pilot-scale set up.
