Vacuum Bubbling introduces the background and applications for
generating bubbles under a vacuum condition, accomplished through
depressurization without the need to heat water. It presents the
advantage of utilizing vapor bubble in deaeration applications because
the diffusion for degassing happens between the water body and micro
vapor bubbles without the need of membrane or packing. Instead of
relying on massive heating, vacuum bubbling focuses on
depressurization down to the level of saturated vapor pressure or
below to secure vapor bubbles with virtually zero dissolved
non-condensable gases, including oxygen. The book considers
prospective applications, such as extracting high-oxygen-content air
from water for underwater breathing, pretreatment of aircraft fuel
before being pumped into a fuel tank system, and probable desalination
applications through massive bubbling combined with low-grade
renewable energy. The book is intended for researchers in thermal
fluids, heat and mass transfer, process engineering, and water
treatment fields and industry professionals working in power
generation, plant and process engineering, transportation, and energy.
