INSTABILITY OF A BUBBLE IN A LIQUID DIELECTRIC IN AN EXTERNAL ELECTRIC FIELD

Abstract

In the article, the separation and decomposition of a bubble in a liquid dielectric medium in a strong electric field was theoretically considered and the laws of its dispersion were studied. The expression of the change in the potential energy of the system, consisting in the work of compression and expansion of bubbles caused by changes in the energy of the surface tension forces as a result of the decomposition of the bubble, the electrostatic energy of the bubble itself, their electrostatic energies, as well as disproportionate changes in Electrical and Laplace pressures during the ejection of secondary Bubbles, was determined and analyzed.
