Book Description
The present work reports a study of bubble generation under reduced gravity conditions for both co-flow and cross-flow configurations. Experiments were performed aboard the DC-9 Reduced Gravity Aircraft at NASA Glenn Research Center, using an air-water system. Three different flow tube diameters were used: 1.27, 1.9, and 2.54 cm. Two different ratios of air injection nozzle to tube diameters were considered: 0.1 and 0.2. Gas and liquid volumetric flow rates were varied from 10 to 200 ml/s. It was experimentally observed that with increasing superficial liquid velocity, the bubbles generated decreased in size. The bubble diameter was shown to increase with increasing air injection nozzle diameters. As the tube diameter was increased, the size of the detached bubbles increased. Likewise, as the superficial liquid velocity was increased, the frequency of bubble formation increased and thus the time to detach forming bubbles decreased. Independent of the flow configuration (for either single nozzle or multiple nozzle gas injection), void fraction and hence flow regime transition can be controlled in a somewhat precise manner by solely varying the gas and liquid volumetric flow rates. On the other hand, it is observed that uniformity of bubble size can be controlled more accurately by using single nozzle gas injection than by using multiple port injection, since this latter system gives rise to unpredictable coalescence of adjacent bubbles. A theoretical model, based on an overall force balance, is employed to study single bubble generation in the dynamic and bubbly flow regime. Under conditions of reduced gravity, the gas momentum flux enhances bubble detachment; however, the surface tension forces at the nozzle tip inhibits bubble detachment. Liquid drag and inertia can act either as attaching or detaching force, depending on the relative velocity of the bubble with respect to the surrounding liquid. Predictions of the theoretical model compare well with performed expe

Bubble Behavior During Solidification in Low-Gravity. [spar 1 and Spar 3 Flights]
Author: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781723361333
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
The trapping and behavior of gas bubbles were studied during low gravity solidification of carbon tetrabromide. The flight experiments were performed during two sounding rocket flights (SPAR 1 and SPAR 3) and involved gradient freeze solidification of gas saturated melts. Gas bubbles were evolved at the solid-liquid interfaces during the low gravity intervals. No large-scale thermal migration of bubbles, bubble pushing by the solid-liquid interface, or bubble detachment from the interface were observed during the low gravity experiments. During the SPAR 3 experiment, a unique bubble motion-fluid flow event occurred in one specimen: a large bubble moved downward and caused some circulation of the melt. The gas bubbles that were trapped by the solid in commercial purity material formed voids that had a cyclindrical shape in SPAR 3, in contrast to the spherical shape that had been observed in SPAR 1. These shapes were not influenced by the gravity level, but were dependent upon the initial temperature gradient. In higher purity material the shape of the voids changed from cylindrical in one-g to spherical in low-g. Papazian, J. M. and Wilcox, W. R. Unspecified Center NASA-CR-161159, RM-680 NAS8-31529
