Q2. what is the boundary condition for n?
−Δ∞ n P R R T t 4 3n n 0 d3u (22)which acts as a boundary condition to the diffusion equation,θ θ∂ ∂ = ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ⎛ ⎝⎜ ⎞ ⎠⎟t D r r r r nnn 2 2(23)together with a second boundary condition θn(r → ∞, t) = 0 and initial condition θn(r, tn = 0) = 0. Let θn̅ be the characteristic solution for θn evaluated at r = δn and t = Δtn.
Q3. what is the concentration field of the bubble?
It is essentially the concentration field evaluated at the characteristic diffusion length δn and time Δtn corresponding to the previous bubble, where Δtn = td,n − t0,n is the bubble residence time.
Q4. What is the boundary condition for the nth bubble?
2 = 2RuT∞ΔC̅1/P0 is just the known growth rate of the first bubble (corresponding to the initial, undepleted supersaturation ΔC̅1).
