Measurement of droplet size distribution in dodecane by buoyancy weighing-bar method

Abstract

The Buoyancy Weighting-bar Method can estimate particle size distribution and velocity mean particle sizes of solid particles. In this study, W/O emulsion mixed with ion-exchanged water and n-dodecane was prepared, and then droplet size was measured by Buoyancy Weighting-bar Method. The droplet size distribution observed by Buoyancy Weighting-bar Method was almost agree with that by microscopy.
