Drop size distribution in agitated liquid‐liquid systems

The drop size distributions resulting from the agitation of immiscible liquids were measured over a wide range of parameters. The average drop size is correlated by {article}{empty}{document}D ₃₂/L{document} = 0.053 NWe−0.60. The distribution function for volume fraction is normal and depends only upon {article}{empty}{document}D ₃₂{document} . The results are valid for very dilute solutions wherein coalescence of droplets plays no role in the dispersion mechanism.
