Experiments were carried out to study the coalescence dynamics of a neutrally buoyant liquid−liquid emulsion subjected to a simple shear flow in a Couette device. The effect of shear rate and dispersed phase holdup were studied. The surfactant-stabilized emulsions were prepared in a stirred tank at high shear rates which were applied for long times so as to obtain reproducible equilibrium drop size distributions. Low shear rates were used in the Couette device to prevent drop breakup… CONTINUE READING
