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 balance 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:

[0005] (1) Electrostatic repulsion modeling: methods based on the planar double-electric-layer or uniform charge assumption can simplify calculations but ignore curvature effects, leading to 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.

[0006] (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.

[0007] (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
