Inert gas accumulation in sonoluminescing bubbles

چکیده
In this paper we elaborate on the idea @Lohse et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1359–1362 ~1997!# that ~single! sonoluminescing air bubbles rectify argon. The reason for the rectification is that nitrogen and oxygen dissociate and their reaction products dissolve in water. We give further experimental and theoretical evidence and extend the theory to other gas mixtures. We show that in the absence of chemical reactions ~e.g., for inert gas mixtures! gas accumulation in strongly acoustically driven bubbles can also occur. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~97!51241-4#

Water vapor diffusion effects on gas dynamics in a sonoluminescing bubble.
Calculations based on a consideration of gas diffusion of gas dynamics in a sonoluminescing bubble filled with a noble gas and water vapor are carried out. Xenon-, argon-, and helium-filled bubbles are studied. In the absence of shock waves, bubble temperatures are found to be decreased, a decrease attributable to the large heat capacity of water vapor. Peak bubble temperature reductions are se...
متن کاملThe Secretion of Inert Gas into the Swim-bladder of Fish
The composition of the gas mixture secreted into the swim-bladders of several species of fish has been determined in the mass spectrometer. The secreted gas differed greatly from the gas mixture breathed by the fish in the relative proportions of the chemically inert gases, argon, neon, helium, and nitrogen. Relative to nitrogen the proportion of the very soluble argon was increased and the pro...
متن کاملSymmetry reduction for molecular dynamics simulation of an imploding gas bubble
We propose a symmetry reduction technique whereby molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for spherically symmetric gas bubbles can be accelerated. Results for an imploding Xenon bubble containing fifty million particles — the smallest measured sonoluminescing system — are presented.
متن کاملBremsstrahlung of nitrogen and noble gases in single-bubble sonoluminescence
A hydrodynamic model, discussing neutral gases as well as plasmas, is applied to simulate single-bubble sonoluminescence. In this model, thermal conduction and various inelastic impact processes such as dissociation, ionization, and recombination are considered. Bremsstrahlung is assumed as the mechanism of the picosecond light pulse in sonoluminescence. Diatomic nitrogen and noble gas bubbles ...
متن کاملSuppressing dissociation in sonoluminescing bubbles: the effect of excluded volume.
Recent theoretical work in single-bubble sonoluminescence has suggested that water vapor in the collapsing bubble leads to energy-consuming chemical reactions, restricting the peak temperatures to values for which hardly any light emission could occur. Analyzing the reaction thermodynamics within the dense, collapsed bubble, we demonstrate that the excluded volume of the nonideal gas results in...
