An extensive experimental study on the formation of liquid‐liquid interfacial areas was conducted using flat‐blade turbine impellers in standard mixing tank geometry. The interfacial areas were measured with a light probe for different combinations of volume fraction, continuous and dispersed phase physical properties, and mechanical mixing conditions.
