For a baffled vessel agitated by turbine type impellers with six flat blades, the liquid flows produced by the impellers were measured using the particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). The impellers were used in the two configurations for the blades to be open and closed. For the the two configurations of impellers, the time-averaged flow and the turbulence in the flow were evaluated for the regions near the vessel in presence and absence of the baffle. The efficacy of baffles for flow conversion was discussed in terms of the turbulence kinetic energy.
