effects of binary mixtures of ionic/nonionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate/2-heptanol or 1-decanol) and nonionic/nonionic surfactants (2-heptnol/1-decanol) on drop/interface coalescence of water drops in a continuous n-heptane phase were examined. the drop size reduced appreciably and the multi-step coalescence was suppressed finally as the concentration of each of the constituting components of surf...

Drop size and drop spatial distribution determine photon-cloud interaction. The classical approach assumes that the number of drops of a given radius is proportional to volume with a drop-size-dependent coefficient of proportionality, the drop concentration, which is a volume-independent function of the spatial point. This assumption underlies the derivation of the drop size density distributio...
