Abstract
Studies have been made of the behavior of drops in primary dispersions flowing through beds packed with glass ballotini in order to establish the mechanism of phase separation. The buoyancy and surface forces have been analyzed in terms of drop size and shape in the interstice in the packing and the physical properties of the dispersion. A mathematical model has been developed to describe drop behavior in the bed, and the drop size in the effluent dispersion has been predicted from established correlations.
