A NOVEL METHODOLOGY TO MEASURE MASS TRANSFER AROUND A BUBBLE
Résumé
An original approach for accurately measuring the mass transfer of a single bubble rising in a liquid is reported. The approach consists in using PLIF technique (Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence) at micro-scale to capture images of the released oxygen concentration field in the bubble wake. The applicability of the technique for determining mass transfer coefficients in different fluids (1 < Re < 100) is demonstrated and the relevance of the results is corroborated by established correlations. This direct and non-intrusive technique could be a promising tool to enrich the understanding of mass transfer phenomena.
