If a drop of liquid breaks into smaller droplets, it results in lowering of the temperature of the droplets. Let a drop of radius R, break into N small droplets each of radius r. Estimate the drop in temperature.
Volume of the liquid of drop of radius R = (N)(volume of liquid droplet of radius r)
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}=N \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$
$N=\frac{R^{3}}{r^{3}}$
Energy released is:
$\Delta U=T \times \Delta A=T\left[4 \pi R^{2}-N\left(4 \pi r^{2}\right)\right]=4 \pi T\left(R^{2}-N r^{2}\right)$
When the energy is released, the temperature reduces.
$\Delta T=\frac{\Delta U}{m c}=\frac{4 \pi T\left(R^{2}-N r^{2}\right)}{\frac{4}{3} R^{3} \rho c}$
Where c is the specific heat of the liquid.
Solving the above equation, it can be said that ∆T will be negative and therefore, the temperature of the droplet falls.
