DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PASSIVELY ENHANCING GAS EVOLUTION AND DISSOLUTION RATES

摘要

Devices, systems and methods for changing a state of a gas relative to a liquid are disclosed. The device includes a section of conduit for containing a multiphase fluid including a liquid and gas, and at least one capillary within the section of conduit. The capillary has a first capillary end open to the flowing gas for receiving gas and a second capillary end open to a flowing liquid for expelling gas into the flowing liquid thus forming bubbles in the flowing liquid. Through the use of the device, gas can be passively transferred from the flowing gas to the flowing liquid. The device is suitable for use in fluid handling systems located downstream of a substantial change in pressure.
