A new home base (HB) type impeller with 3S performance (simple, speedy and stable) was developed based on the streak line visualization method (Kato et al., 2015b). The characteristics of mixing performance and power consumption were evaluated with a view to practical use in industrial processes. It was found that the power number could be estimated by the correlation formula for a paddle impeller by taking into consideration the impeller position. No isolated mixing region of doughnut-ring form was observed in the mixing vessel with HB impeller over a wide range of Reynolds number by using decolorization method.
