Water that is held tightly in micro-globules in the oil is no longer referred to as free water. Instead it has been more accurately referred to as emulsified water or a microemulsion. Emul- sified water does not separate quickly, or at all in many cases. is is due to polarity, relating to cohesive forces between the water and the oil, especially its additives. Also influencing this is the high oil-water interfacial area which relates to the contact area between the water and the oil. e smaller the water globule, the greater the relative interfacial area of water contacting the oil, which holds the water tighter and longer in the body of the oil. Stoke's Law plays a role too (Google it). These micro-glob- ules are basically locked in the body of the oil and as such become a homogeneous part of the oil, physically and chemically. ey are what cause the oil to become hazy or cloudy depending on oil concentration. is note- worthy parameter is referred to as turbidity, which actually increases the oil's viscosity.
