Wall Shear Stress Induced by Taylor Bubbles in Inclined Flow Channels
Tihon, Jaroslav ; Pěnkavová, Věra ; Vejražka, Jiří
The motion of single air bubbles in flat channels is experimentally investigated. The electrodiffusion technique of near-wall flow diagnostics is applied to measure the wall shear stress distribution under large rising bubbles. The measurements are synchronized with the visual observation of bubble movement by a high-speed camera. The analysis of video records provides information on the bubble shape and terminal velocity. The experiments are carried out for three different channel configuration (with heights of 1.5, 4, and 8 mm), cover a wide range of channel inclination angles (from horizontal to vertical position), and dealing with both the bubbles in stagnant and in co-flowing water.

Oscillations of Bubbles Attached to a Capillary: Case of Pure Liquid
Vejražka, Jiří ; Vobecká, Lucie ; Tihon, Jaroslav
In this contribution, we therefore present results of a linear inviscid theory for shape oscillations of a spherical bubble, which is in contact with a solid support. The theory allows determining eigenmode, but also response of the bubble shape to a motion of its support or to volume variations. Present theory covers also the cases previously analyzed by Strani and Sabettaand Bostwick and Steen, and it can be applied to both bubbles and drops. The theory has been compared to experiments. Good agreement is found for the case of small bubbles, which have spherical static shape. Experimental results for larger bubbles and drops deviate from the theory, if a neck is formed. It is shown that this deviation correlates well with a ratio of bubble volume to the maximum volume, when a detachment occurs.

Thin Film Composite Membrane for Effective Raw Biogas Upgrading to Pipeline Quality Methane
Kárászová, Magda ; Vejražka, Jiří ; Veselý, Václav ; Friess, K. ; Randová, A. ; Jansen, J. C. ; Izák, Pavel
In this contribution we propose a method to upgrade biogas to the same quality of fuel standard natural gas. The latter contains more than 95 vol. % of methane. Using traditional membranes, such concentration of methane in the retentate could only be achieved using a multistep process. A recently proposed method for raw biogas purification from impurities and carbon dioxide by condensing water on swollen thin film composite membranes was found to be highly effective. The hydrophilic reverse osmosis membrane promotes the formation of a very thin selective water layer under condensing conditions below the dew point of the raw biogas feed. The large difference in permeability of the impurities in raw biogas (carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide) and methane through the water layer enables upgrading of raw biogas to biomethane quality in a single stage. Contrary to the classical purification processes, the proposed method does not require any biogas pretreatment, which makes this approach economically attractive. It represents an innovative approach to production of biomethane from biogas.

Oscilace bublin a kapek přichycených na jehle
Vejražka, Jiří ; Vobecká, Lucie
Práce uvádí výpočetní postup pro stanovení vlastních frekvencí, tvarů a příslušných útlumů pro tvarové kmitání bubliny nebo kapky přichycené na jehle. Výpočetní postup je založen na analýze Bostwicka a Steena, jehož výsledek je algebraicky upraven do kompaktního tvaru. Výsledky výpočtu vykazují dobrou shodu s experimentem, pokud je velikost bubliny dostatečně menší než velikost při odtrhu vlivem Archimedových nebo gravitačních sil.

Dynamics of Shape Oscillations of a Bubble Attached to a Capillary Tip
Vobecká, Lucie ; Vejražka, Jiří ; Orvalho, Sandra ; Zedníková, Mária ; Tihon, Jaroslav
The shape oscillations of a bubble, which is attached to a tip of a capillary tube, are studied experimentally. It is observed that the attachment leads to an appearance of an additional low-frequency mode (denoted as mode 1), when compared to standard theories of oscillations of free bubbles or drops. It is observed that the frequency of mode 1 scales with the bubble size as f ~ D^(-2). The oscillation dynamics of a bubble is strongly influenced if some surface active agent is present in the liquid. Due to interfacial elasticity, the surfactants presence in low concentration increases the oscillation frequency. The decay of oscillations is also faster, probably due to an increase of energy dissipation by Marangoni stresses.

Oscillation of a Bubble in Surfactant Solution
Vobecká, Lucie ; Vejražka, Jiří ; Zedníková, Mária ; Orvalho, Sandra ; Tihon, Jaroslav
The decay of shape oscillations of a bubble in solutions of a soluble non-ionic surfactant are studied by means of high-speed imaging. The oscillations are induced by a sudden motion of a capillary, to which the bubble is attached. The bubble then either detaches or remains attached at the capillary. In both cases, the observed bubble shape is decomposed into eigenmodes (Legendre polynomials). The frequency f and the decay time τ of the lowest oscillation mode are evaluated. Their dependences on the surfactant concentration c, on the bubble size and on the bubble age are studied.
