Abstract

We report that by changing the wetting characteristics of the impeller, it is possible to completely alter the nature of dispersed phase hold-up at inversion (φinv) versus the stirrer speed curve. We also show conditions under which the material of construction of the impeller has no effect on φinv. A qualitative explanation for these two behaviour is also attempted.
