MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF BINARY COALESCENCE PROCESS OF OIL-WATER EMULSION DROPLETS
The paper presents an attempt to form a general approach to mathematical modeling of binary coalescence arising due to droplet deposition in a gravitational field based on the population balance equation, which can be further applied to predict the conditions of oil-water emulsion stratification. Using experimental curves of water content change over time in water-in-oil emulsions measured at different temperatures, four different ways of calculating the efficiency of binary coalescence are compared.
