  2. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    New applications are in inkjet systems where gas in the ink forms bubbles that degrade print quality, a degassing unit is placed prior to the print head to remove gas and prevent the buildup of bubbles keeping good jetting and print quality. The above three methods are used to remove all dissolved gases. Below are methods for more selective ...

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.

  4. Effervescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effervescence

    Bubbles of carbon dioxide float to the surface of a carbonated soft drink. Effervescence is the escape of gas from an aqueous solution and the foaming or fizzing that results from that release. [1] The word effervescence is derived from the Latin verb fervere (to boil), preceded by the adverb ex. It has the same linguistic root as the word ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness

    [54] [55] If inert gas comes out of solution too quickly to allow outgassing in the lungs then bubbles may form in the blood or within the solid tissues of the body. The formation of bubbles in the skin or joints results in milder symptoms, while large numbers of bubbles in the venous blood can cause lung damage. [ 56 ]

  6. Carbonated water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonated_water

    Carbonated water [a] is water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas, either artificially injected under pressure, or occurring due to natural geological processes. Carbonation causes small bubbles to form, giving the water an effervescent quality.

  7. Air embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_embolism

    Gas embolism is a diving disorder experienced by underwater divers who breathe gases at ambient pressure, and can happen in two distinct ways: . Pulmonary barotrauma: Air bubbles can enter the bloodstream as a result of gross trauma to the lining of the lung following a rapid ascent while holding the breath; the air held within the lung expands to the point where the tissues tear (pulmonary ...

  8. Soap bubble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_bubble

    The further apart water molecules are, the less dense they are. This is why water vapor is less dense than air. The gas inside a bubble is mostly water vapor, so it is also less dense than air. The density of a gas can also be affected by its temperature. As the temperature of a gas increases, the molecules of the gas move faster. This causes ...

    The carbon dioxide bubbles may also help intestinal absorption by opening up paracellular transport. [13] Extreme bioavailability differences of up to 4-fold have been reported comparing effervescent tablets with ordinary tablets, highlighting the need for extra bioequivalence studies when switching dosage forms.
