Abstract:
In the present paper, the hydrodynamic interactions between bubbles and the gas supply system to a needle were experimentally investigated. In experimental investigations in one of the needles, the air volume flow rate was constant, and in the neighbouring needle, it was changed. In the paper, the methods of data analysis: wavelet decomposition, and FFT were used. It was shown that the hydrodynamic interaction becomes stronger with the increase in air volume flow rate supply to the needle. The occurrence of hydrodynamic interaction modifies bubble growth time slightly, but it significantly modifies the bubble waiting time. In the case when the liquid penetration into the needle is repeatable, then the percentage disturbances in bubble growth time and bubble waiting time are close to each other. Moreover, it can be concluded that synchronized or alternative bubble departures from twin neighbouring needles (occurring due to hydrodynamic interaction) are possible by modifying the bubble waiting time. The modification of hydrodynamic interaction between bubbles, the bubbles themselves, and gas supply systems can be used to control the bubble departure process.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
