Drop volume studies were made by forming non‐Newtonian pseudoplastic drops in a continuous toluene phase and chlorobenzene drops in non‐Newtonian continuous phases. Combination of results for these cases enabled development of a correlation for the prediction of non‐Newtonian drop volume in a non‐Newtonian continuous phase. The development is confined to power law fluids and provides expressions for both long and short nozzles in terms of a two‐stage drop formation process. Variables included nozzle size, formation time, and rheological properties from eight non‐Newtonian systems in a program of 144 runs.
