Abstract
BackgroundEvolution of a gas injected in a liquid is analyzed using the example of the behavior of oxygen molecules in water in which bubbles of gas molecules grow slowly by attachment of gas molecules to bubbles, the bubbles then associate and finally flow up to the liquid–gas interface and pass into the gas phase.Results Two methods are considered for gas injection in a liquid, insertion of individual molecules and injection of small gas bubbles via gas penetration through a porous material. The behavior of oxygen bubbles in water and growth of those bubbles is analyzed. Subsequently, these grown bubbles float up and disappear, or reach the water boundary as a result of turbulent motion of the liquid.Conclusions It is shown that measurement of the size distribution function of micron-size bubbles in various regions of the water container allows one to establish the flow current lines on the basis of the theory of bubble growth.Graphical abstract:Schematic diagram of energies of molecules in the gas phase, in bubbles and bound to solvent
Highlights
In this paper we consider the character of evolution of a gas which penetrates through a porous medium into an open, liquid-filled reservoir
If gas molecules are located in a simple liquid, they may be found in three states
If the concentration of gas molecules exceeds their maximum concentration at a given temperature, the excess of gas molecules leaves the gas under thermodynamic equilibrium
Summary
Two methods are considered for gas injection in a liquid, insertion of individual molecules and injection of small gas bubbles via gas penetration through a porous material. The behavior of oxygen bubbles in water and growth of those bubbles is analyzed. These grown bubbles float up and disappear, or reach the water boundary as a result of turbulent motion of the liquid
