    Dispersed Phase Surface Area As A Function of Drop Size

    Uploaded by

    grabetty
    This document illustrates how dispersed phase droplet size affects contact area and treating efficiency in liquid/liquid contactors. It shows that as individual droplet volume decreases, the total number of droplets increases while diameter and surface area decrease, following a constant dispersed phase volume. An optimal droplet size range of 250-350 microns is identified for maximum phase contact efficiency, while sizes outside this range reduce efficiency.

    DISPERSED PHASE SURFACE AREA AS A FUNCTION OF DROP SIZE

    OBJECTIVE:
    This spreadsheet graphically illustrates the effect of varying dispersed phase droplet size on contact area
    and subsequent treating efficiency in liquid/liquid contactors.
    Information can be used to troubleshoot and optimize liquid/liquid contactor performance.

    DIRECTIONS:
    Input value of Individual Droplet Volume in gray cell (red number) only!
    Spreadsheet fixes Total Dispersed Phase Volume and calculates Total Number of Droplets, Droplet Diameter,
    and Total Contacting Surface Area between the two liquid phases.
    Vary Individual Droplet Volume to alter graphical profile.
