Superhydrophobic surfaces can be utilized in various applications, such as enhanced heat transfer, anti-icing, self-cleaning, and viscous drag reduction. In this work, we investigated the water droplet size separation using superhydrophobic surfaces, which is relatively new unexplored research field, but yet promising for pharmaceutical medical applications. We developed a theoretical model pre...

after designing and constructing a coalescence cell, drop/interface coalescence phenomenon was studied in the absence and presence of single surfactant.two surface active agents of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1-decanol were used. distilled water was used as dispersed phase. toluene, n-heptane and aqueous 60% (v/v) of glycerol were selected as continuous phases, separately. it was found that the ...

Past studies of the variability of drop size distributions (DSDs) have used moments of the distribution such as the mass-weighted mean drop size as proxies for the entire size distribution. In this study, however, the authors separate the total number of dropsNt from theDSD leaving the probability size distributions (PSDs); that is, DSD5Nt3 PSD. The variability of the PSDs are then considered u...
