Description
Roberta Campardelli and co-authors chase a reliable formula for emulsion droplet size in a 2023 engineering paper. Rotor-stator mixers whip oil into water across food, cosmetic, and drug production, and the average droplet size once the emulsion settles decides texture and shelf life, yet predictions stay shaky.
The team made oil-in-water emulsions with three oils, several mix ratios, and varied rotor speeds, then fitted a model built on dimensional analysis. Their correlation weighs viscous, inertial, and surface tension forces inside the turbulent regime the mixer creates. Checked against published models, the new formula held up well, offering process engineers a sturdier design rule.
