A two-stage bubble formation model is presented for constant-flow conditions to predict the size of bubbles formed at a single downward-facingnozzle submergedin liquids or liquid metals.Agreementbetween results calculated by this model and experimental data for water was fairly good over a wide range of experimental conditions, but not good for copper melt. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
