Population balance modelling of phase inversion in liquid–liquid pipeline flows

Population balance equations (PBEs) along with the equal surface energy criterion are used to predict phase inversion in liquid–liquid dispersed pipeline flows. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment. Our results suggest that an ambivalent range exists in terms of distance from the i...

Zusammenfassung:Population balance equations (PBEs) along with the equal surface energy criterion are used to predict phase inversion in liquid–liquid dispersed pipeline flows. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment. Our results suggest that an ambivalent range exists in terms of distance from the inlet (rather than volume fraction) which depends on system parameters.
