Drop formation at a two-phase nozzle: Part A

The excellent separation performance of columns with structured packings st rongly depends on the distributor's quality and this may be utilized only i f it is possible to generate a constant drop size and a uniform drop distri bution over the cross-section for all loadings. The size of the drops, whic h are formed at single distributor orifices, may be controlled by an extern al flow, thus studies of drop formation with a single two-phase nozzle were made. Paper A presents the results of experiments with the liquid system t oluene (dispersed)/water and two-phase nozzle.
