A simplified correlation for bubble volume estimation
In order to propose a simplified correlation to predict the detached bubble volume without considering the gas velocity, an experimental work has been performed to measure the detached bubble volume through a micro-hole submerged in liquid. Several micro-holes with diameters of 60, 90, 126, 220, 580, and 1200 mu m are respectively used for bubble formation, while liquid in a test chamber is continuously drained at a constant rate of 0.006 ml/s. The predicted results by the present simplified correlation agree well with the measured values. Predictions of the detached bubble volume from previously published correlations using a model to compute the gas velocity are also compared with experimental data.
