Abstract
The study of diffusive bubble growth processes adds an extra dimension of complexity over certain probable situations. It is not only necessary to consider the convective motion, resulting from the large change in density upon vaporization, in the diffusion equation, but also separately to consider the equation of motion, because inertial, surface tension, and viscous effects may be appreciable. A more general two-component bubble growth solution permits both the initial temperature and concentration to be the arbitrary functions of the radial distance. The same procedures used to solve the single-component problem are employed. A general solution is obtained and various limiting cases are examined. The theory of isolated bubble growth in a liquid of arbitrary initial temperature and/or concentration distribution is well established, providing that the boundary layer volume is smaller than the bubble volume.
