Table 5. Relationship with the bubble diameter and the pressure in the bubble.
Diameter of bubble | Pressure in the bubble in water |
---|---|
1 mm | 1.003 atm |
100 μm | 1.03 atm |
10 μm | 1.29 atm |
1 μm | 3.9 atm |
500 nm | 5.8 atm |
300 nm | 9.7 atm |
200 nm | 14.6 atm |
100 nm | 29.7 atm |
Young-Laplace equation is as follows: ΔP = 4σ/d
ΔP: Degree of the upward pressure [atm], σ: Surface tension [mN/m], d: Diameter of bubble [mm].
