DISPERSION OF GAS INJECTED INTO LIQUID METAL.

Abstract

A study on dispersion of gas injected into mercury has been made by using an electroresistivity probe. The empirical correlation obtained for the size of bubbles formed at nozzles in lower gas flow rates was applicable to estimate the size of bubbles. An equation was obtained to describe the effects of liquid physical properties on the average size of bubbles in the swarm, and was used to estimate the average size of bubbles rising in molten iron.
