The size distribution of drops formed from four different diameter nozzles (d=l.O, 1.6, 2.6 and 3.5 mm) was measured over the flow rate range of 0.17 to 3.0 cm3/s (below jetting). Kerosene was used as the dispersed phase and distilled water was used as the continuous phase. The experimental drop size distributions were described adequately by the upper limit number and volume distributions. Plots of the maximum and the minimum diameters versus the mean diameter yielded straight line with slopes of 1.11 and 0.87, respectively.
