Abstract:A novel
analytical tool incorporating a differential pressure transducer
(DPT) to measure bubble frequency and size in a simple, noninvasive,
nonhazardous, and nonoptical-based technique was presented and validated.
Bubbles measured in de-ionized water by an upward facing quartz nozzle
and helium gas flow rates up to 50 mL min–1 ranged
from 3.75 to 4.29 mm, with bubble size deviations of 3–8% from
the literature correlations considered. The DPT technique was applied
to two high-temperature systems, molten tin … Show more
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.
