The effects of the baffle length on the power consumption of a mixing vessel with several impellers were studied. The power number was generally correlated with the baffle length, the number of baffles and the baffle width. When the number of baffles was unity, experimental values were slightly lower than the calculated ones. The power number of the pitched paddle impeller was correlated with the correlation of Hiraoka et al. (1997).
