Pore formation from bubble entrapment by a solidification front and pore formation in solid

In this dissertation¡Atwo topics in microbubble systems are investigated¡G1) Pore Formation from Bubble Entrapment by a Solidification Front¡F2) Pore formation in Solid¡C
In the first study¡Amechanism of the pore shape in solid resulted from a tiny bubble captured by a solidification front is geometrically and generally investigated¡CPore formation and its shape in solid are one of the most critical factors affecting properties¡Amicrostructure¡Aand stresses in materials¡CFor simplicity without loss of generality, the tiny bubble beyond the solidification front is considered to have a spherical cap in this work¡CIntroducing a geometrical analysis it is found that the contact angle of the bubble cap can be governed by the Abel¡¦s equation of the first kind in terms of displacement of the solidification front¡CThe pore can be elongated, expanded¡Ashrunk and closed¡Adepending on relative variation of the bubble growth rate and solidification rate¡CThe pore can be closed by imposing infinitesimal bubble growth rate-to-solidification rate ratio¡Aand a finite bubble growth-to-solidification rate ratio in order to produce a minimal bubble radius at the contact angle of ¡CA criterion intuitively accepted in the literature¡Astating that closure of a pore is attributed to a greater solidification rate than bubble growth rate¡Ais incorrect¡CThe predicted pore shape and contact angle agree with experimental observations¡CManipulating either bubble growth rate or solidification rate can control pore formation in solid¡C
In second study¡Athe shapes of a growing or decaying bubble entrapped by a solidification front are predicted in this work¡CThe bubble results from supersaturation of a dissolved gas in the liquid ahead of the solidification front¡CPore formation and its shape in solid are one of the most critical factors affecting properties¡Amicrostructure, and stresses in materials¡CIn this study¡Athe bubble and pore shapes entrapped in solid can be described by a three-dimensional phase diagram¡Aobtained from perturbation solutions of Young-Laplace equation governing the tiny bubble shape in the literature¡CThe predicted growth and entrapment of a microbubble as a pore in solid are found to agree with experimental data¡CThis work thus provides a realistic prediction of the general growth of the pore shape as a function of different working parameters¡C
