    This document provides an overview of different types of stirrers used in mixing processes and their key characteristics. It describes several common stirrer designs including propeller, dissolver, anchor, spiral, turbine, and paddle stirrers. For each type it lists the direction of flow pattern created, typical tip or circumferential speeds, applicable viscosity ranges, shear forces generated, common applications, and preferred dimensional ratios for geometry. The goal is to help users select the most appropriate stirrer for their specific mixing needs and application.
