Analysis of gas dissociation rate into liquid phase under magnetic field gradient

Abstract

The promotion of the dissolution rate of a gas into a liquid phase by a magnetic field gradient was theoretically examined. The Navier–Stokes equation was solved for the case when the magnetic force is induced by the concentration difference of the dissolved gas. As a result, the total diffusional flux was predicted to be proportional to the power of one-fourth the intensity of the magnetic field. An experimental confirmation for the theoretical equation of the dissolution process of oxygen into water was also performed.
