Dispersion of water into oil in a rotor-stator mixer. Part 2: Effect of phase fraction
2013, Chemical Engineering Research and DesignCitation Excerpt :The mechanism of coalescence can be different if the flow is laminar or if the drops are smaller than the Kolmogorov microscale, making the flow locally laminar. In the inertial subrange the coalescence mechanism originates from the fact that drops are brought into contact and moved apart by eddies of the size of the drops (Tjaberinga et al., 1993). The coalescence mechanism is different if the flow field around the drop is locally laminar – a criterion which covers both sub-Kolmogorov turbulent systems and laminar systems.

2012, Computers and Chemical EngineeringCitation Excerpt :The maximum stable droplet diameter, below which no viscous break-up takes place in the colloid mill can be estimated as, Similarly, the residence time of a droplet inside the viscous eddies should be long enough to guarantee break-up (i.e. tb < tr) (Tjaberinga et al., 1993), Understanding droplet coalescence in emulsions has been a hot research topic for the last decades (Cheesters, 1991; Saboni et al., 2002).
