A stress‐balance‐based critical Weber number for droplets and bubbles
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Predicting droplet and bubble breakup in turbulent flows is critical for optimizing multiphase flow processes such as emulsification and atomization. Traditional models based on a fixed critical Weber number (Wec$$ {We}_c $$) may not capture interfacial‐stress dominance in low‐viscosity fluids or viscous resistance in high‐viscosity droplets ...

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.
