Drop size in a liquid—liquid dispersion: Formation in jet Break-up

Using a photographic technique, the mean drop size of densely packed liquid-liquid dispersions has been measured in a spray column. For each pair of flow rates a gaussian distribution has been obtained; a correlation predicting the mean size is proposed, the drops resulting from break up of jets for...

Description
Summary:Using a photographic technique, the mean drop size of densely packed liquid-liquid dispersions has been measured in a spray column. For each pair of flow rates a gaussian distribution has been obtained; a correlation predicting the mean size is proposed, the drops resulting from break up of jets formed with perforated plates. For fifteen liquid-liquid systems investigated the ratio of the mean drop size d̄ to the diameter of the injector perforations φ is linearly related to Eötvös number Δϱφ 2/σ.
