I need a 4 blade impeller to stir nano oxide powder in about 1 kg of aluminium melt by creating vortex before casting but I do not have any model or drawing for fabricating it. Certainly the shape, size and distances between blades are key factors.
There are a number of articles which studied on the impeller design and its optimum location in the stirred tanks. If you read some of them, they may help you. I name some that I read and were really interesting:
1-Effect of impeller design on the flow pattern and mixing in stirred tanks (2006)
2-Impeller design for mixing of suspensions (2011)
3-Agitation energy efficiency in gas-solid-liquid stirred vessels operating at ultra-high solids concentrations (2016)
