An investigation was carried out for swirling flow in a rotating pipe with highly viscous fluid containing micro-bubbles experimentally and numerically. In the numerical analysis, bubble trajectory of each bubble was calculated using resultant numerical flow field solutions. From experimental results, with an aid of the numerical simulation, data were obtained for the location of a stagnation p...

Based on the volume of fluid method (VOF), rising characteristics bubbles in near-wall static water are studied. In this study, influence wall motion bubble was studied by changing distance wall, diameter bubble, arrangement and size ratio, etc. The is expressed as average swing amplitude “Z”-shaped when rises. study found that case a single surface has certain rise its degree affected diameter...

foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. an increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

The adsorption of ovalbumin (OA) onto the bubble surfaces was studied with various pHs (3.5, 4.6, 6.0 and 8.0) by a continuous foam separation technique. From the value of the saturated surface density of adsorbed OA, the variation of effective diameter (D) of an OA molecule on the bubble surface was estimated for various pHs (3.5, 4.6, 6.0 and 8.0) of the OA solutions, assuming that the cross ...

The temperature will significantly affect the surface tension of a bubble. By suitable control inside and outside spun bubble, can be vanished entirely. This zero-tension phenomenon is extremely helpful in bubble electrospinning process. An experiment designed to study effect on nanofibers diameter, theoretical prediction agrees well with experimental data. paper sheds bright light controlling ...

We analyze the distribution of the interstellar matter in the environs of the Wolf-Rayet star LSS 3982 (= WR 85, WN6+OB?) linked to the optical ring nebula RCW 118. Our study is based on neutral hydrogen 21cm-line data belonging to the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS). The analysis of the Hi data allowed the identification of a neutral hydrogen in-terstellar bubble related to WR 85 and the...

Quantitative measurements are obtained from high-speed visualizations of pool boiling at atmospheric pressure from smooth and roughened surfaces, using a perfluorinated hydrocarbon (FC-77) as the working fluid. The boiling surfaces are fabricated from aluminum and prepared by mechanical polishing in the case of the smooth surface, and by electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the case of the r...

Infrared thermometry was used to obtain first-of-a-kind, time- and space-resolved data for pool boiling phenomena in water-based nanofluids with diamond and silica nanoparticles at low concentration (<0.1 vol.%). In addition to macroscopic parameters like the average heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux [CHF] value, more fundamental parameters such as the bubble departure diameter a...

Ultrasound contrast agents composed of micro-bubble filled with gas are introduced to increase the backscattered power from blood. Their intravenously injection results in the improved contrast in the images. The aim of this master thesis project is to manufacture MB suspension at varied temperature and shear forces and to inspect the size distribution and concentration of the PVA-shelled micro...

The quasi-steady migration and deformation of bubbles rising in a wall-bounded linear shear flow are investigated experimentally in the low-but-finite-Reynolds-number regime. A travelling optical device that follows the bubble is used for this purpose. This apparatus allows us to determine accurately the bubble radius, contour and rising speed, together with the distance between the bubble and ...
