Abstract:The method of pulsed liquid superheating in a tension wave that forms when a compression pulse is reflected from the liquid free surface has been used to investigate the kinetics of spontaneous cavitation in liquid nitrogen. The limiting tensile stress pn of nitrogen corresponding to nucleation rates J = 1020 − 1022 s−1 m−3 and the slope of the temperature dependence of the nucleation rate GT = dlnJ/dT have been determined by experiment. The results of experiments are compared with classical nucleation theory … Show more
“…1–17 After the negative pressure exerted on the liquid falls below the negative pressure that is determined by the tensile strength of the liquid and the given temperature, small vapor-filled cavities are created in the liquid and then cavitation occurs. 18–23 Nucleation 24–28 can be classified into distinct pathways: homogeneous nucleation 24–26 and heterogeneous nucleation. 27,28…”
