[Biofuel] Geeky process question

Hi Bob; I notice you are very sharp on the chemistry so I have a question for you regarding the biodiesel process. Copying to list as well. I am wondering if in these processes where you have two phases that separate does the separation proceed over time by an exponential decay? I mean if I

Howdy Joe, to be honest I have never given thought to the kinetics of phase separation, although your intuitive guess at an exponential rate for the process certainly seems reasonable. Variables would include viscosities of both phases, the difference in densities of the phases, and maybe
