Formation of gas bubbles in viscous liquids at low gas flow rates

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    A study has been made of the dependence of bubble diameter on gas flow rate when bubbling in viscous liquids (μ from 60 to 1000 cP) with small-diameter capillaries (0.5 to 2 mm).

  2. 2.

    Empirical relationships have been obtained, making it possible to determine a correction factor for the theoretical formula (1) as a function of gas flow rate and capillary diameter; these equations provide an increased accuracy in calculating bubble size for bubbling in viscous liquids.
