Unified maximum particle size prediction for turbulent dilute dispersions

摘要

A new maximum stable particle size model for turbulent dilute dispersion flow is proposed, which includes both droplets and bubbles. The proposed model incorporates, for the first time, the combined effects of the dispersed-phase density and viscosity. The model has been tested against a database consisting of 169 sets corresponding to turbulent dilute dispersions showing a good agreement. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
