| Abstract: | The quasi-stationary approximation was used to calculate the rates of dissolution of O2 and CO2 gas bubbles from a soda-lime glassmelt. An analytic expression for the bubble radius as a function of time, R(t) , was obtained when surface tension was neglected and numerical results for R(t) were found when surface-tension effects were included. These results were compared with those found by previous investigators. Also, an asymptotic expression for R (t) was derived and used to calculate bubble dissolution times. |
