Abstract
The coalescence between drops in an isotropic turbulent dispersion is exami
ned. With this result, a new model without any adjustable or empirical para
meters is developed to predict the minimum drop size stable against coalesc
ence both in surfactant systems and pure systems. The drop size distributio
n and coalescence efficiency are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science
