This paper presents an experimental study of the basic and most important characteristics of novel type of static disperser a pulsating flow type apparatus (PFA). The pressure drop for single-phase flow and droplets size distribution for emulsification process at turbulent flow regime (20 000 < Re < 120 000) was studied. Influence of flow rate, number of dispersing elements, apparatus diameter and physical properties of the phases on emulsification efficiency were studied. On the basis of obtained experimental data correlation to predict the Sauter mean diameter in this new type of dispersing device as a function of the Weber number, viscosity of the phases as well as the number of dispersing elements was derived. A simplified equation to assess the Sauter mean diameter of droplets on energy dissipation rate d(32) = 575 epsilon(-0.45) was also proposed. Comparison of different configuration of PFA with classical static mixers in terms of the Weber number, energy dissipation rate, Sauter mean diameter and interfacial area was performed. It has been shown that PFA has better characteristics than many other types of static mixers and quite simple geometry for bulk production. (C) 2018 Institution of Chemical Engineers.
