Notes:
In the measurement of the absorption of carbon dioxide gas by a series of oil drops moving down a vertical wire the variables studied are drop frequency, oil viscosity, wire size, and column length. A model is proposed which assumes that the gas is absorbed by almost stagnant liquid film between and covering the drops, that the film is subsequently mixed with a drop as it moves past, and that the dissolved gas is carried from the column in circulating loops of liquid within the drops. The model leads to an equation which correlates the data and gives a good approximation to the slope of the line.
