Abstract:

The rate of solution of N2 in liquid N2O4 was measured in terms of the change of pressure with time at 5.1 and 7.6 ullage at 20 C and at 6.6 ullage at 0 C. The pressure decay was slower with increasing ullage and increasing temperature because of the relative masses of gas and liquid and the diffusional barrier near the interphase both in the gas and in the liquid. The rate of solution follows first-order reversible reaction rate after 40 min.
