Question:

A bubble has surface tension $S$. The ideal gas inside the bubble has ratio of specific heats $\gamma=\frac{5}{3}$. The bubble is exposed to the atmosphere and it always retains its spherical shape. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a 1}$, the radius of the bubble is found to be $r_1$ and the temperature of the enclosed gas is $T_1$. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a 2}$, the radius of the bubble and the temperature of the enclosed gas are $r_2$ and $T_2$, respectively.Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

Updated On: Apr 23, 2024
  • If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^5=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{2 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{2 S}{r_1}}$
  • If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then the total internal energy of the bubble including its surface energy does not change with the external atmospheric pressure.
  • If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat conductor and the change in atmospheric temperature is negligible, then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.
  • If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.

The Correct Option is C, D

Solution and Explanation

The correct answers are: 
(C) If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat conductor and the change in atmospheric temperature is negligible, then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.
(D) If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.

Mechanical Properties of Fluid

The science of the mechanical properties of fluids is called Hydrostatics. A fluid is a substance that relents to the slightest pressure. Fluids are categorized into two classes famed by the names of liquids, and elastic fluids or gases, which later comprehend the air of the atmosphere and all the different kinds of air with which chemistry makes us acquainted.

Streamline Flow:

A streamline is a curve the tangent to which at any point provides the direction of the fluid velocity at that point. It is comparable to a line of force in an electric or magnetic field. In steady flow, the pattern of the streamline is motionless or static with time, and therefore, a streamline provides the actual path of a fluid particle.

Tube of Flow:

A tubular region of fluid enclosed by a boundary comprises streamlines is called a tube of flow. Fluid can never cross the boundaries of a tube of flow and therefore, a tube of flow acts as a pipe of the same shape.

Surface Tension and Viscosity:

The surface tension of a liquid is all the time a function of the solid or fluid with which the liquid is in contact. If a value for surface tension is provided in a table for oil, water, mercury, or whatever, and the contacting fluid is unspecified, it is safe to consider that the contacting fluid is air.
