drop size distribution in a mixer-settler is an essential design parameter, as obtaining drop size distribution will result in optimum performance of equipment. in this paper for obtaining drop size, several experiments have been performed with a single stage horizontal mixer-settler. a video technique has been used in order to measure the drop size in the mixer-settler with the help of a digit...

in order to simulate the rotating disk contactor all hydrodynamic parameters, dispersed phase hold-up, characteristic velocity, mean drop size, drop size distribution, axial mixing and mass transfer have been taken into account. mechanisms of mass transfer (stagnant, circulating, oscillating drops) were used in this study. column height found from effect of mean drop size and drop size distribu...

The force, f, required to slide a drop past a surface is often considered in the literature as linear with the drop width, w, so that f/w = const. Furthermore, according to the Dussan equation for the case that the advancing and receding contact angles are constant with drop size, one can further simplify the above proportionality to f/V(1/3) = const where V is the drop volume. We show, however...

By analyzing aircraft measurements of individual drop sizes in clouds, it has been shown in a companion paper that the probability of finding a drop of radius r at a linear scale l decreases as l, where 0 D(r) 1. This paper shows striking examples of the spatial distribution of large cloud drops using models that simulate the observed power laws. In contrast to currently used models that assume...
