On the steady‐state drop size distribution in stirred vessels. Part I: Effect of dispersed phase viscosity

Abstract: Previous studies on emulsification have used the maximum drop size (dmax) or Sauter mean diameter ( trued¯32) to investigate the effect of viscosity on the drop size distribution (DSD), however, these parameters fall short for highly polydispersed emulsions. In this investigation (Part I), the steady‐state DSD of dilute emulsions is studied using of silicon oils with viscosities varying across six orders of magnitude at different stirring speeds. Different emulsification regimes were identified; our modeling a… Show more
