A formulation and computed results are presented for the growth of a spherical gas bubble in a supersaturated liquid, due to solute diffusion. The computed results are given in a dimensionless form and the appropriate dimensionless parameters allow a more general representation of the effects of surface tension, viscosity and liquid inertia. An approximate assessment is also made of the range, over which certain asymptotic solutions are valid. The computed results were found to agree quite well with experimental data obtained in the region where liquid inertia played an important role in controlling the overall growth rate.
