Experimental and theoretical analysis of emulsification characteristics using a high porosity microscreen under oscillatory shear conditions

- O/W emulsification using an oscillatory woven metal microscreen is modelled.
- Oscillations reduce drop size due to shear and high surfactant transfer rate.
- High dispersed phase flow had two opposite effects on droplet size.
- The effects are due to surfactant depletion and active pores increase.
- The model agreed satisfactorily with data with R2 = 0.96.
