Droplet size distribution is a fundamental parameter in liquid-liquid extraction that influences mass transfer rates and phase separation. This calculation utilizes the Hinze-Kolmogorov correlation to estimate the Sauter mean diameter based on the balance of inertial and interfacial forces in turbulent flow.
