The present study investigates the impact of specific experimental methods and system features, namely gas flow path, system volume, orifice construction, and visualization surface, on the measurement of adiabatic single-bubble growth dynamics at the tip of submerged capillary orifices. The present work jointly focuses on characterization of bubble volume and shape during nucleation and growth. Photos of bubble growth from a 1.75 mm capillary tube orifice were taken for glycerin, water, and 75 wt% aqueous glycerin for system volumes from 0.2 – 301.5 mL over a range of flow rates from 0.01 – 1.6 mL/s, photographed through both planar and curved surfaces. Interfacial aspect ratio and included volume from each system modification were analyzed to determine the effect of system volume and to understand the impact of flow metering on the constant gas flow boundary values in water and aqueous glycerin as well as the influence of curvature in the visualization surface and the effects of liquid viscosity in the presence of these system features. It was found that interfacial aspect ratio decreases with increasing system volume and with decreasing viscosity over the full range of flow rates considered. Additionally, interfacial aspect ratio decreases when a cylindrical visualization surface is used, owing in part to horizontal magnification. Furthermore, it is observed that bubble shape must be treated distinctly from bubble volume when surface curvature is present or system volume is minimized. 2012-09-25 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337716075 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1337716075 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
