Measurement of the impulsive force generated by colapsing bubble close to a solid boundary
Müller, M. ; Unger, J. ; Holata, J. ; Zima, Patrik
The article presents experimental results of the acoustical and optical study of cavitation bubble collapse close to a solid boundary in water. The bubble was generated by discharge of low-voltage capacitor into a couple of wires closing a simple circuit. Different distances from the solid wall and different maximum bubble radii were studied. The bubble radius was studied using time-resolved photography and by PVDF film sensor glued on the solid boundary. The illumination was provided by high-power led diode. Synchronization of the system was provided by pulse generator connected to an oscilloscope. The impact power of the bubble to the wall was estimated from the time-resolved photography of the bubble and from the PVDF film sensor signal. The PVDF film sensor calibration was performed by a pendulum test to estimate the impact force.

PERTURBANCE ANALYSIS AND FISSION MODEL OF COLLAPSING BUBBLE
Petrík, P. ; Zima, Patrik ; Ridha, A.
A new criterion for the assessment of the reliability of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation is proposed. An analysis of the shape stability of the spherical surface of the bubble during the collapse is used to develop a physical model, which incorporates the loss of shape stability, surface energy dissipation and fission process. The model also estimates the number of bubble fragments as well as conditions for the fission to occur. Finally, some aspects of the numerical code, especially error estimation and propagation of rounding error, are discussed.

COLLAPSE OF A CAVITATION BUBBLE GENERATED BY LOW VOLTAGE DISCHARGE IN WATER
Müller, M. ; Unger, J. ; Buďárek, T. ; Zima, Patrik
The article presents experimental results of the optical study of cavitation bubble collapse close to a solid boundary in water. The bubble was generated by discharge of two low-voltage capacitors. High-speed CCD camera was used to record the time evolution of the bubble size. High-power halogen lamp was used for illumination. The system was synchronized by pulse generator connected to an oscilloscope. The velocity of the re-entrant jet was estimated from the time resolved photography for three different maximum bubble sizes.

Nucleation rate in binary cavitating systems - A comparison of experimental data and classical nucleation theory predictions
Němec, Tomáš
A brief review of recent literature on proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) modelling is presented and the governing equations of the transport processes in the proton exchange membrane are presented. Consequently, the model of water transport in the membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell in commercial software FLUENT is investigated. The aim of this work is to test the possibilities of the PEMFC modelling using FLUENT. Special attention is given to the water management and the properties of the fuel cell membrane.of four binary mixtures, i.e. diethylether - nitrogen, propane - carbon dioxide, isobutane - carbon dioxide, and chlorodifluoromethane - carbon dioxide. The predictions of the classical nucleation theory show very good agreement with the measured nucleation rates.
