Abstract

A method to predict evolution of the diameter distribution of droplets that are injected into a process fluid in a process pipe or industrial pipeline is disclosed. The method is implemented with the use of a processor that: receives first information corresponding to a process fluid and a piping infrastructure in which the process fluid flows; receives second information corresponding to an injectant and an injector configured to inject the injectant into the process fluid; and predicts a droplet size distribution as a function of time based on the received first and second information. The prediction is based at least in part on computation of one or more closed-form expressions for mathematical description of the droplet interaction processes.
