Abstract:

This dataset contains the raw droplet size measurements from high-pressure visual autoclave for Australian crude oil at 110 bar methane and various mixing velocities. Calculations of mixing velocity and Reynolds number, as well as the physical properties of the oil, can be calculated according to the associated manuscript (doi:10.1016/j.ces.2015.01.058). Experimental methods can also be found within the manuscript.

Purpose:

The data was captured in order to better determine the effect of mixing velocity on oil-in-water dispersion droplet size distirbutions.

Data Parameters and Units:

[Droplet sizes (microns), Count (unit less): identifier of the order in which measurement points are selected in Image, X (pixels): position of the count identifier on the x-axis, Y (pixels): position of the count identifier on the y-axis, Slice (unit less): image number from total sequence, D (microns): calibrated distance between X,Y positions on each side of oil droplet] for [110 bar 200 RPM, 110 bar 300 RPM, 110 bar 500 RPM, 110 bar 600 RPM, 110 bar 700 RPM, 110 bar 850 RPM, 110 bar 1000 RPM]

Instruments:

High-pressure visual sapphire autoclave.
