Gas absorption at a liquid surface agitated by vortex rings Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractUnderwater vortex rings have been formed at orifices of between 25.4 and 63.5 mm diameter and projected upwards at the surface of the water. The conditions of ring formation at which significant surface deformation occurs have been correlated. The absorption of pure carbon dioxide by the water surface with impinging vortex rings has been measured and related to the following variables: time of fluid impulse through the orifice, orifice diameter, volume of displaced liquid, and depth of submergence. A simplified mass transfer model based on the penetration theory approximately correlates the data.
