The bubble characteristics were determined using shadow photography processing of the bubbly flow. Distributions of bubble sizes and their rising velocities were obtained as functions of the pipe inclination angle and the distance from the gas injection point to the measurement location. The addition of surfactants significantly reduced the probability of bubble coalescence upon collision, causing bubbles to form clusters. During cluster motion, bubbles in the core move slightly faster, while those at the periphery travel slower, enabling circulatory motion within the cluster. Larger bubbles also become entrained in this circulatory motion. Consequently, the rising velocity of bubbles becomes independent of their size and is governed by the group rising velocity of the bubble cluster.</p>","PeriodicalId":627,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Thermophysics","volume":"35 1","pages":"54 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growth of a vapor bubble was only confined by the opposite wall of the channel, whereas the edges of the heat-releasing surface were in a flow of water underheated to saturation temperature. The dimensions of the gap from the heated surface to the opposite wall of the channel were 0.3, 0.6, and 3 mm.
