abstract

  • AbstractA simple mass‐transfer model is derived which gives the initial air bubble size distributions in a dispersion of air bubbles in water from the density/time responses to a step increase of pressure. Bubble size distributions from the model showed reasonable agreement with direct optical measurements. This work is applicable to dilute dispersions of bubbles which experience a sufficiently large increase in pressure such that the resulting solution is unsaturated with air.
