An extensive experimental study on the formation of liquid-liquid interfacial areas was conducted using flat-blade turbine impellers in standard mixing tank geometry. The interfacial areas were measured with a light probe for different combinations of volume fraction, continuous and dispersed phase physical properties, and mechanical mixing conditions.
A mathematical model simulating light transmission through liquid-liquid dispersions has been developed. Numerical solutions of the model for various drop size distributions show that the fraction of parallel light which passes through a dispersion is a unique function of a dimensionless group, here named the Transmission Number, regardless of the drop size distribution. The results, which were verified by actual light transmission experiments, show that the interfacial area of a liquid-liquid dispersion can be calculated from a light reading provided that the light detector receives only parallel light. Application of the results to other two-phase dispersions is indicated.
