Experimental Study on Accuracy of Flow Rate Measurement with Droplets : 2nd Report : Influence of Flow Condition on Droplet Formation

Abstract

In the control of very small flow rate with use of droplet counting method, the exact determination of droplet volume is critically important. The size of droplet formed is not constant but depends on the properties of liquid, its velocity and many other factors. In this study the characteristics of the droplet formation is examined experimentally and compared with existing theories.
