Stability of water-in-oil emulsions in simple shear flow 1. Determination of the orthokinetic coalescence efficiency

Evolution of asphaltene floc size distribution in organic solvents under shear

“…Various expressions exist relating to system variables such as ionic strength and electrolyte concentration (Zeichner and Schowalter, 1979;Mousa and van de Ven, 1991). However, these expressions are not directly applicable in the present study since the present system deals with organic solvents.…”

Experimental Investigation of the Orthokinetic Coalescence Efficiency of Droplets in Simple Shear Flow

“…Previous investigation of the effect of q on ε by Brazier-Smith et al (18) and Kumar et al (21) showed that ε increases as q is different than 1 . On the other hand Adler (23,33), Mousa and van de Ven (24,34,35), Zhang et al (36), and Rother et al (19) found that the coalescence efficiency increases as the radii ratio approaches 1. It should be stated that this point is not yet complete and further investigation is needed.…”

Coalescence of Protein-Stabilized Emulsions in a High-Pressure Homogenizer

“…In addition, the mean turbulent force F M being given in Eqs. [6] and [7] for different values of k * 2 . Since proportional to e V 2 / 3 ( see Eq.…”
