Chapter 10, Problem 10.3P

The role of surface tension in bubble formation can be demonstrated by considering a spherical bubble of pure saturated vapor in mechanical and thermal equilibrium with its superheated liquid.

(a) Beginning with an appropriate free-body diagram of the bubble, perform a force balance to obtain an expression of the bubble radius.

   r b = 2 σ P s a t P t

where P s a t is the pressure of the saturated vapor and P 1 is the pressure of the superheated liquid outside the bubble.

(b) On a p υ diagram, represent the bubble and liquid states. Discuss what changes in these conditions will cause the bubble to grow or collapse.

(c) Calculate the bubble size under equilibrium conditions for which the vapor is saturated at 101°C and the liquid pressure corresponds to a saturation temperature of 100°C.

At the pressure of P=0.1MPa,  the saturation temperature of water is Tsat=100 ºC, the specific volume of the saturated liquid water is vf=0.001043 m3/kg, and the specific volume of the saturated vapor water is vg=1.6720 m3/kg.  (3) Please match regions shown in the diagram with correct names.
A compressed air tank is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air when Ölled to a gaugepressure of 200 atm at an ambient temperature of 70 F. Calculate the interior volume of thetank. One standard cubic foot of air occupies one cubic foot at standard temperature and pressure(T = 59 F and p = 2116 lb/ft2).
