Abstract: | A novel method of dispersing a gas in a liquid by pressure pulses generated by waves propagating from a hydrodynamic oscillation generator is proposed. Devices that realize this method, wave dispersers, are created and investigated experimentally. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the wave processes in the dispersers and the size distribution density functions of the gas bubbles are obtained. It is shown that there are optimal pressure values at the disperser inlet at which a minimum bubble size is achieved. The average diameter of the gas bubbles produced by water wave dispersers in the optimal operation regimes varied on the range from 0.3 to 0.6 mm, depending on the gas flow-rate. |
