The effect of surfactant on the motion of long bubbles in horizontal capillary tubes
In experiments involving slow steady motion of a long finite bubble of fluid with very small viscosity in a capillary tube filled with a liquid of viscosity μ, a thin film of liquid of uniform thickness adheres to the tube walls between the front and the rear menisci of the bubble. Taking the contact angle of the liquid at the walls as zero and neglecting the gravitational effects, Bretherton (...
متن کاملGravity-driven slug motion in capillary tubes
The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of menisci, a capillary pressure proportional to surface curvature acts on the slug and streamlines are bent close to the interface, resulting in...
متن کاملCapillary rise in tubes with sharp grooves
Liquid in grooved capillaries, made by e-ginserting a plate in a cylindrical tube, exhibits unusual spreading and flow properties. One example is capillary rise, where a long, upward tongue on top of the usual meniscus has been observed along the groove. We attribute the underlying mechanism to a thermodynamic instability against spreading for a (partial
متن کاملDensity-driven instabilities in capillary tubes: Influence of a variable diffusion coefficient
The influence of a variable diffusion coefficient on the gravitational instability at the interface between two variable viscosity fluids in a vertical capillary tube is investigated, based on the three-dimensional Stokes equations. As the viscosity contrast between the fluids grows, the maximum density gradient of the self-similar base concentration profile increases while its location is shif...
متن کاملMeasurements of Gaseous Diffusion Coefficients
Accurate knowledge of molecular diffusion coeffi· cients and their temperature dependence is important in obtaining fundamental information on forces be· tween unlike molecules. Until recently most diffusion measurements were conducted over short temperature intervals because the conventional methods such as the Loschmidt or the Stefan, require the thermostating of large, static systems. Walker...
