Mathematical modelling of gas bubbles and oil droplets in liquid media using optical linear path projection

Abstract

This paper describes mathematicalmodelling of oildroplets and gasbubbles in water. The light sources that are discussed are visible light radiation and infrared radiation. Gasbubbles or oildroplets less than 1 mm diameter are of interest in this investigation. Results show a good agreement between gasbubbles and an oildroplet of radius . The importance of this modelling is that the bubbles approximately describe the characteristics or behavior of oildroplets. This paper shows why a gasbubble is used in this experiment instead of oildroplets.
