Notes:
An experimental study was made on the breakup of a single drop in two phase liquid-liquid developing turbulent pipe flow. The predominant breakup mechanism was controlled by dynamic pressure forces, and the drop breakup was characterized by one or two smaller drops breaking off a larger drop.The effect on the increase in interfacial area and the resulting size distribution of the fragmented drops of drop velocity, interfacial tension, initial drop size, and the distance down the pipe was studied. Regression analysis was used to determine the significant effects. Most of these regression equations had significant cubic and two-factor interactions, which is indicative of the complexity of drop breakup.The size distribution of the fragmented drops can be approximated by a normal distribution. However, the steady state distribution was not fully developed in the work here.
