Type: article
Abstract: The paper presents the results of experimental and theoretical analysis of the dependence of emulsification processes on temperature in rotary-disc mixers. The main design element of rotary-disc mixers is a set of alternating perforated movable and fixed disks installed in the device body. Changing the rotation speed, the gap between the disks and the geometry of the disk perforation holes, it is possible to control the size of dispersed particles that determine the contact area of the phases. The size of the dispersed particles also depends on the properties of the processed mixture, which change with a change in the temperature of the processed mixture. An experimental study of the dependence of dispersed particle size in a liquid – liquid system (water – diesel fuel) on a change in temperature and different ratios of the components of the processed mixture was carried out. It is shown that a change in the temperature of the processed mixture in the range of 20 °C
