| Abstract: | This study presents a method of preparing simple and multiple emulsions formed in a liquid-liquid contactor with Couette-Taylor flow (CTF). A Couette-Taylor flow contactor represents a mini-channel device, and due to its small dimension can be connected to a diesel engine for just-prepared emulsion injection. Stable simple W/O and multiple O/W/O emulsions have been prepared, both with quite narrow drop size distribution. The mean drop size of the inner phase of multiple emulsions is in range of 2-10 μm depending on the operating conditions. Simple and multiple emulsions will be considered as an alternative diesel fuel for improving engine performance and emissions characteristics. |
