Notes:
Emulsion drop size distributions have been measured at various locations in a turbine mixer for the methyl isobutyl ketone-salt water system. The drop sizes are strongly dependent on the sampling position, being smallest near the impeller tip and largest at the bottom of the mixing tank. The variation of drop diameter with impeller speed has been studied and indicates that droplet breakup predominates near the impeller, whereas the coalescence of emulsion droplets can be controlling in other locations.
