Abstract
The frequencies of drop breakage and coalescence in a batch mixer are described by power functions of drop sizes. The shape of a steady state drop size distribution corresponding to the power functions is correlated with their exponents. The use of this correlation for direct determination of linear combination of power functions exponents from an experimental drop size distribution is demonstrated.
