Abstract

Physical and mathematical models have been derived and experimentally confirmed for the formation of the hold-up profile in a dense liquid-liquid dispersion and for the rate of coalescence at the interface. Both processes may be characterized by three parameters which can be verified or determined experimentally and further used for design of an industrial unit.
