STUDY OF THE SURFACE FILMS OF GAS NUCLEI (AS RELATED TO CAVITATION AND TENSILE STRENGTH IN WATER). PART III. DISSOLVING OF GAS NUCLEI IN TURBULENT FLOW.
Abstract
The paper is a report of an experimental investigation of the dissolving of gas nuclei (small gas bubbles) in turbulently flowing water in a pipe. The rate of dissolving is important in a circulating water tunnel because it determines whether or not cavitation produced nuclei reach a small size to produce tensile strength in the water, increase the cavitation inception level, and affect the results of a cavitation test. The rate of dissolving is greatly affected by the presence of surface films that form about gas nuclei from trace organic materials dissolved in the water. (Author)
