Drop Size Calculation
Reynolds number needs to be above 5000 to be able to
do the dispersion with a static mixer.
For liquid-liquid systems in turbulent flow the viscosity ratio effects the
drop size to a limited extent, as long as the absolute viscosity of the
dispersed phase is less than 10 cP and the viscosity ratio does not exceed 10:1.
Then...
Note that the DSM is the Sauter Mean drop size, and is
dependent on the Mixer diameter, D. The final value of DSM is
obtained by multiplying the result of the equation above by the pipe ID.
We is the Weber Number
