Abstract : The aim of the current investigation is to found the optimal shape of the differential agitator components such as: internal container shape, directors and impeller blade dimension and angle . A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) analysis, manufacturing and laboratory experiments will be conducted to design a new kind of agitators called differential agitator. The relationship between agitator geometrical parameters, material properties, and loading conditions will be studied. The study will end up with conclusions to improve agitator performance and optimize the geometrical parameters to be used for manufacturing the differential agitator. During the experimental work, saturated calcium hydroxide solution will be used to calculate the differential agitator efficiency by adding certain amount of lime in the portable water. The measure of acidity will be determined the agitation efficiency and depending of the reading at optimal shape of differential agitator which can be defined. The finite element analysis (FEA) and optimization technique (ANSYS First Order Optimization Method) are used to calculate the optimal dimension of the differential agitator parts. The optimization technique are used to minimize the weight of differential agitator. The optimal shape and dimensions of the differential agitator were estimated accordingly significant improving to the efficiency of the differential agitator was recorded compared to the normal agitators.
