Particle size distribution of crude oil and methane-saturated crude oil jets entering seawater at 150 bar ambient pressure

The dataset contains droplet size measurements from autoclave jet experiments with BP Surrogate Oil, partly saturated with methane, at 150 bar ambient pressure at 20° C. The dataset includes two tables: particle size distributions (PSD) of (1) crude oil and (2) methane-saturated crude oil jets entering into seawater at 150 bar ambient pressure. The crude oil used is Louisiana Sweet Crude (LSC) oil from Marlin Platform Dorado ("Surrogate oil"), provided by BP, item ID A010E4. For this experiment, the oil pressure was 150 +/- 1 bar and the oil volume flow was 1.99 - 2.16 l/min. Other related datasets are available under GRIIDC UDIs R4.x267.000:0111 and R4.x267.000:0048.
