Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nanofluid mechanics and interface chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for dynamically analyzing stability and predicting life of nanobubbles. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nanobubbles have important application value in the fields of energy, environment, and biomedicine due to their unique physical and chemical properties, but their ultra-high surface area to volume ratio leads to instability affected by interface multi-field coupling effects.
[0003] Traditional theories rely on the classical Young-Laplace equation to describe the mechanical equilibrium dominated by surface tension, but do not fully consider two core factors: the contribution of electrostatic repulsion caused by ion adsorption on the bubble surface to the interfacial pressure difference, and the coupling regulation effect of ion dynamic distribution and Brownian motion on gas diffusion in the solution.
[0004] Existing research has significant limitations in key model construction: (1) Electrostatic repulsion modeling: methods based on the planar double-electric-layer or uniform charge assumption can simplify calculations but ignore the curvature effect, resulting in large prediction errors for sub-micron bubble pressure differences. For the hexagonal lattice model with ion dense packing, the ring spacing-charge density quantitative mapping relationship cannot be established due to the lack of ring geometric symmetry and nonlinear coupling mechanism of force balance.
[0005] (2) Adsorption kinetics analysis: the traditional Smoluchowski model can describe dynamic adsorption, but ignores the nonlinear correction of ion potential well on the adsorption rate of high-curvature interface, and does not consider the micro-convection disturbance induced by Brownian motion.
[0006] (3) Stability criterion establishment: the phenomenological model based on gas diffusion flux (such as the dissolution-re-equilibrium theory) does not couple the regulation of surface charge density on the concentration gradient, resulting in a large order of magnitude deviation between the predicted critical radius and experimental data. Life prediction relies more on semi-empirical formulas, and lacks closed analytical solutions for multi-field coupling. SUMMARY
[0007] The present application aims to provide a method for dynamically analyzing stability and predicting life of nanobubbles, to solve the technical problem of insufficient characterization of multi-field coupling and large theoretical prediction deviation caused by simplification assumptions in traditional models in current nanobubble stability analysis.

A third-order ring coupling mechanism is introduced into the explicit relationship model to find the normal component of the Coulomb repulsion force between the rings. The equivalent repulsion analytical solution of the hydroxide ion pressure on the surface of nanobubbles is obtained by using Hankel transformation and Debye shielding correction. The equivalent repulsion analytical solution is substituted into the modified Young-Laplace equation to obtain the calculation model of the net pressure difference inside and outside the bubble. Step 200: Based on the Smoluchowski diffusion control model, the Prandtl number coupled with Brownian motion and diffusion is introduced to correct the thickness of the nanobubble boundary layer, and a differential equation for the surface charge density of the nanobubble is constructed to solve the low-coverage approximate analytical solution of the surface charge density of the nanobubble in real time. Step 300: Describe the motion of nanobubbles based on the Langevin equation with neglect of inertia terms, solve for the effective diffusion coefficient of hydroxide ions on the surface of nanobubbles, and use the effective diffusion coefficient to rewrite the modified nanobubble boundary layer thickness, and update the adsorption rate constant of hydroxide ions on the surface of nanobubbles in the low coverage approximate analytical solution. Step 400: By conserving mass, establish the equation for the rate of change of the nanobubble radius with time using the obtained net pressure difference calculation model inside and outside the bubble, solve for the critical stable radius of the nanobubble, and obtain the closed-loop solution for lifetime prediction by integrating the rate of change equation.
