Phase splitting principle mechanism

These and many other astonishing experimental results are not fully understood yet. In principle, the mechanisms of droplet sedimentation are well known and can be reliably modelled. The only problem is the prediction of drop size. The knowhow on coalescence is, however, rather poor and totally insufficient. Henschke (1995) developed a method for phase splitting modelling that is a combination of simple... 

The important point, within the scope of this paper, is that the free energy may acquire a structure, as an alternative or a complement to the Split Dual Kinetic mechanism described by eq. (6). One can easily see that the coupling of eq. (6) and eq. (8) yields more complex but probably more realistic kinetic schemes. This is not all. The same principle which regulates the coupling between eq. (6) and eq. (8), a discussion beyond the scope of this presentation, can be applied to minimize the partition function energy of the b units of the Split Dual Kinetic phase. The b units, whose number is Nj, can be divided into subsystems of units each (with cq, = NyNj, just like the Bq units in eq. 8 could be divided into N, systems. All the bb subsystems are identical and the partition function energy of the b Split Dual Kinetic phase is the energy of each bb subsystem...
