The dynamics of single air bubbles and alcohol drops in sunflower oil at various temperatures

Abstract: Steady rises of a single air bubble, a methanol drop, and an ethanol drop in a vertical glass column of refined sunflower oil at temperatures of 25, 30, 40, and 50 C are investigated experimentally using photography. The Reynolds numbers obtained are 0.07-16, 0.02-13.43, and 0.017-11.18 for the air bubbles, methanol drops, and ethanol drops, respectively. Results for terminal velocity and drag coefficient are compared with the selected existing correlations for bubble and drop motions in immiscible liquids. … Show more

“…However, other effects are worth consideration. For example, dissolution of bubbles in a gas saturated media is driven by a number of effects including the Ostwald coefficient 25 of the gas in question, the diffusion coefficient of the gas in the media and the surface tension 26 of the gas/liquid interface. Epstein and Plesset reported that the dissolution time under these conditions can be calculated.…”

“…16 or 24 for K is generally taken for the drag coefficient of spherical particles at low Reynolds numbers . Additionally, Rodrigue provides an expression for the motion of gas bubbles rising steadily in uncontaminated viscous Newtonian fluids: centerCD=KRetrue[leftcenter(12+32θ+121+128θ)1/3center+(12+32θ121+128θ)1/3center+true(0.036(1283)1/9 Re8/9Mo1/9true)true]9true/4centerwithcenterK=16centerθ=5.1×106 Re8true/3 Mo1true/3 …”

“…For a bubble rising in oil, relevant studies have seldom been reported. In practice, diverse oils are an inseparable component of engineering applications 9 . General oils are more viscous than water, inducing higher viscous force for the bubble motion.…”
