The size and rate of shedding of wakes of single drops were measured for seven systems and for drop Reynolds numbers of 137-798. The ratio of wake to drop volumes is in general independent of drop size and interfacial tension and is a linear function of the relative density. T'he distance required t

โฆ Synopsis
Volumes translated in wakes of single drops of organic liquids rising through aqueous media have been measured. Orgonic drops studied comprised methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, and toluene-carbon tetrachloride mixtures. Aqueous media comprised water and water-sugar solution. Distance of drop rise varied from 10 to 20 in. Drop size was varied such that Reynolds numbers of 40 to 800 were obtained. Volumes translated were nearly independent of distance for nonoscillating drops and decreased rapidly with distance for oscillating drops. Transition from nonoscillating to oscillating drops occurred a t Reynolds number of 200. Measurements of drop velocities were also made.
