Abstract
ⶠUsing a high speed camera a preliminary understanding of the phenomenon of coalescence of fresh and aged kerosene oil droplets where observations from first contact to final damped equilibrium are reported. ⶠA distinct differences in the coalescence between fresh and aged binary droplets of analytical and technical grade kerosene was found. ⶠOn ageing, we believe the more polar aromatic ingredients of kerosene diffuse to the interface modifying the interfacial elasticity and viscosity and delaying the coalescence process.
