The bubble formation properties of various porous surfaces at low gas supersaturations were investigated. Polystyrene and silica particles with pore sizes ranging from 40 to 1000 A were used as representative surfaces for this study. Among the polystyrene particles, those with the smallest pores gen

β¦ Synopsis
Bubble formation from porous discs submerged in liquids of different physical properties has been investigated. It is found that the number of sites effective for bubble formation is much smaller than the total potentially available sites. The number of effective sites is found to be a function of the surface tension, viscosity, and density of the liquid and the gas flow rate through the disc. A model proposed on the basis of bubble formation from an isolated nozzle and the close packed arrangement of the formed bubbles, explains the phenomenon adequately.

## Ah&act-Bubble formation under constant pressure conditions has been investigated for wide range of variation of liquid properties. Air bubbles were formed from single horizontal orifices submerged in liquids whose viscosity varied from 1-O to 600 cPs and surface tension from 37 to 72 dyn/cm. A
