Stability of water-in-diesel oil emulsions has been studied using turbidity measurements of diluted systems at 400 and 800 nm. Various factors affecting emulsion stability, such as required HLB, amount and type of emulsifier and the inner water phase fraction were tested using this method. The turbidity technique for evaluation of emulsion stability has been compared to other known methods such as measurements of rheological properties of emulsion, phase separation by centrifugation and percent separation of the water in room temperature. Finally, the validity of turbidity technique has been revealed throughout this study.
