    Experimental study of the thermal behavior of spark generated bubbles in water

    No full text
    In the paper thermal behavior of spark generated bubbles is studied experimentally using an optic sensor (a photodiode) and an acoustic sensor (a hydrophone). It is shown that there is plasma in the bubble interior during the whole first bubble oscillation. A simple method is used, based on several assumptions, which allows determining an estimate of the radiated optic energy and from it the surface temperature of the bubble when the thermal radiation reaches its maximum. This temperature can be then exploited when computing a number of other quantities. An example of the energy partition in the first bubble growth phase and in the first compression and the following expansion phases is given. The estimate of the surface plasma temperature when the bubble is compressed to its first minimum volume is also given and it has been found to be approximately 5900 K in a selected experiment. It is also shown that spark generated bubbles do not behave adiabatically and that the plasma in the bubble interior represents a highly non-homogeneous medium far from an equilibrium state, for which the equation of the state of an ideal gas cannot be used.

    Study of the kinetics of biodegradation of tetraethylene glycol mono-n-octyl ether and tetraethylene glycol and simulation of the formation of some intermediates

    No full text
    The biodegradation courses of the pure tetraethylene glycol mono-n-octyl ether and tetraethylene glycol using the mixed microbial culture under the static conditions are described. The formation of main intermediates in dependence on time was simulated by chosen kinetic models, differential equations and worked out programme. Both the decreases in the concentration of initial compounds and the increases in the concentration of formed metabolites in dependence on time were determined by means of analytical method. The analytical results in graphic form were compared with the data found by simulation of the biodegradation
