Weber number is significant and is concerned with the_________________?

Correct answer: C. Dispersion of liquid in liquid

  • A. Solid-liquid mixing
  • B. Liquid-liquid mixing
  • C. Dispersion of liquid in liquid
  • D. Suspension of solid in liquid

Explanation

The Weber number compares inertial forces with surface-tension forces, so it is especially important when droplets are formed or broken during liquid-liquid dispersion. Solid suspension is more commonly assessed using criteria involving the Froude number and settling behaviour.
