Experimental study of water droplet break up in water in oil dispersions using an apparatus that produces localized pressure drops

Oil production facilities have choke/control valves to control production and protect downstream equipment against over pressurization. This process is responsible for droplets break up and the formation of emulsions which are difficult to treat. An experimental study of water in oil dispersion drop...
