The PhD student Marwa S. Hamed, and the Professor Dr Basim Obaid Hassan from the Department of Chemical Engineering have published a new research on characterizing the effect of physical properties on the dynamic behaviour of fluids in turbulent fields titled:

“High-speed imaging study for characterizing the effect of physical properties on breakup dynamic behavior

of oil drop in turbulent field,”

Published in the prestigious journal

Chemical Papers

By the global publisher Springer Nature, this publication is classified within the Clarivate and Scopus databases and has a Site Score of 3.9 in the second quarter.

The research study the drop breakup behavior of oils having different physical properties was investigated in a stirred tank equipped with a Rushton turbine impeller using high-speed imaging method. Four oils were investigated, including crude oils and lubrication oils, for a range of Reynolds numbers (Re). The dynamic behavior of each drop was quantitatively analyzed to obtain a deeper insight into the effect of viscosity and surface tension on the breakup mechanism by determining the drops number and size distributions., for more details about the research please visit the following link:
