Abstract

The sizes and charges of jet drops produced by bursting air bubbles are examined experimentally. The variation in charge for bubble lifetimes of up to 200 sec in NaCl and KCl solutions is reported. Jet drops refer to drops produced by a jet rising from a cavity left in a liquid surface by a bursting bubble; bubble lifetime is the interval during which a bubble is in motion between generation and rupture. With other variables held constant, drop charge shows a characteristic variation of a rise to a maximum followed by a decrease to an asymptotic value, as bubble lifetime is increased. The influences of various parameters on the characteristic behavior are discussed. © 1971.
