    Droplet formation mechanisms during the chemicaldispersion of crudeoil were investigated using both theoretical and experimental approaches. Dimensionless and force balance analysis identified four distinct regimes of droplet formations. For d>?, d scales either with (e-2/5) or (e-1/4) or and for d? and
