Solubility of O2, N2, H2 and CO2 in water

  • Chapter
Multiphase Flow Dynamics 4

Introduction

Opening of champagne or soda bottle at atmospheric pressure is a simple example of release of gases dissolved previously into liquid at higher pressure. Liquids absorb gases so that the molecules of the gases move among the molecules of the liquid. Optically no visible bubbles are seen in perfect gas–liquid solutions. If the liquid stays for sufficient long time in contact with gas, the gas concentration inside the liquid reaches a maximum.
