The variation of the curvature at the tail of a bubble was more remarkable than that at the nose of a bubble due to the increase in the Weber number, which was the main cause of large pressure drop in the bubble part at the same capillary number. The relation between the bubble velocity and the total volumetric flux was also discussed. The distribution parameter of the drift-flux model without inertial effects showed a simple relation with the capillary number.

The dynamic light scattering technique showed that 9:1 and 6:1 flow rate ratios at 140 and 160 µl/min flow rates, respectively provide desired particle size range of 200–250 nm and 0.17–0.23 polydispersity index.
