TL;DR: This paper used population balance theory to recover the transition probability of droplet breakage, based on a similarity concept, in a stirred liquid-liquid dispersion with low dispersed phase fraction.
Abstract: Experimental measurements of transient drop size distributions in a stirred liquid-liquid dispersion (with low dispersed phase fraction) have been used concomitantly with population balance theory to recover the transition probability of droplet breakage, based on a similarity concept. The data remarkably uphold the proposed similarity hypothesis, and the estimated probability function displays the same qualitative trend as the model due to Narsimhan et al. (1979).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a surface renewal model is proposed for the analysis of free or fixed interfacial transport phenomena occurring in transient processes, where the processes begin at a certain instant in a turbulent system in hydrodynamic equilibrium.
