摘要：

A mechanistic model for the description and prediction of the drop size distribution in a turbulently agitated emulsion dispersion is developed. Based on this model, breakage rate and relative distribution functions are determined and used to solve the general population balance equation for a continuous flow vessel. Parameters of the models are evaluated from experimental data by means of Marquardt's method. The model is found to be capable of predicting bimodal drop size distributions of emulsions.
