| Abstract: | An investigation was conducted of drop size distribution in a Graesser contactor, employing five liquid – liquid systems, viz., kerosene/water, benzene/water, xylene/water, hexane/water and n–butyl acetate/water. A 100 mm (4 inch) diameter Graesser contactor was used for this purpose It was found that the drop size distribution in a Graesser contactor obeys the upper – limit distribution expressed as:  where  A correlation was developed relating the Sauter mean diameter (d32) to other effective groups  |
