Abstract

The aim of this research is to make an experimental study of an effect of a dissolved gas on the liquid-gas homogeneous phase transition. and to compare the result with a bubble nucleation prediction.The experiment was performed under the condition of no existence of gas bubble in a liquid. The superheat limit of the liquid was experimentally studied using a technique in which a droplet containing a dissolved gas was suspended in an immiscible fluid medium. The result shows that with an increase of the content of a dissolved gas homogeneous nucleation occurs at lower temperatures and in the presence of a sufficient dissolved gas at pressures above the saturation pressure of the pure solvent.
