Breakage and coalescence of drops in a batch stirred vessel—II comparison of model and experiments

The model of dispersion proposed by Coulaloglou and Tavlarides is compared with published results from experiments in batch stirred tanks. An alternative to this model is developed by introducing a different formula for the efficiency of collisions—the mechanism of coalescence of drops by film drain...

Summary:The model of dispersion proposed by Coulaloglou and Tavlarides is compared with published results from experiments in batch stirred tanks. An alternative to this model is developed by introducing a different formula for the efficiency of collisions—the mechanism of coalescence of drops by film drainage is replaced by a mechanism based on the effect of collision impact. Good agreement of the modified model with experimental data is demonstrated and the values of the respective parameters are determined.
