Conditions:
: sphere of diameter 5 mm = 6.54e-8 m^3
: cylinder of 40 mm diameter , 750 mm long =9.42e-4 m^3
Suppose we replace part of material of volume
repeatedly, every mixing corresponds to the volume density change of the original material:
And
Solving N, one gets:
Now we use
, corresponding to nitrogen gas in the air.
Below is a table of impurity level and time.
Impurity level | Time (sec/hour) |
1e-2 | 63100/17.5 |
5e-3 | 73100/20.3 |
1e-3 | 96300/26.8 |
1e-4 | 129500/35.9 |
1e-5 | 162700/45.1 |
Below is the time dependence of the impurity level as a figure.
Finally, let’s emphasize that the assumptions 1) the input bubble are 100% pure.; 2) the mixing is complete, meaning the gas is homogeneous before the bubble is released.
