Hello; I'm new here and this is my first post. I posted my question in
some physics groups, and someone suggested that I try the chemistry
groups. I think I've done all that I can do before posting this: I've
spend a lot of time searching for the answer myself seaching archives in
other physics forums, and through Google and Google-Groups with this search:
-- containing all the words: formula gas liquid dissol* pressure temp*
-- containing the specific phrase: surface area
... and I've not been able to find an answer, so I hope someone here
will be kind enough to help.
I'm looking for a formula (and/or graphs or charts) to enable me to
predict how much time it will take for a certain level of gas to
dissolve into a soluable liquid based on the following variables:
1. Time
2. Pressure
3. Partial Pressure
4. Volume of Liquid (and of gas, if necessary)
5. Surface Area of liquid exposed to pressurized gas
6. Specific Gravity (if that makes a difference)
Now, my specific concern is to determine how long to apply pressurized
CO2 to 'force-carbonate' beer in a brewpub or microbrewery we are
considering. I have charts which tell me, for example, that to...
