Abstract:Optical methods were used to measure droplet size distributions in a liquid–liquid Taylor vortex reactor oriented vertically along its main axis and operated in a semi-batch fashion with continuous feed of the dispersed phase and no feed or removal of the continuous liquid. The effects of two operational parameters on droplet size distributions were considered, including the inner cylinder angular velocity and the dispersed phase inlet flow rate. Both the mean droplet diameter and the droplet size distribution… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
