The classical example is the energy required in breaking up a cubic centimeter of water into NanoSphere Droplets. When you get down to H2O molecular size it's the heat of vaporization. IOW. if Nanobubbles are formed in the Joe Cell in prolific numbers when they get drawn from the cell in droplets) into the cylinder they should be forced to collapse and give off energy the same way cavitation-sonoluminescence bubbles do. > > - plus - Prof. Casimir sez: as you go smaller and smaller in > dimensions, then the increase turns from cubic to fourth-power, > therefore ... one might suppose - that this threshold of about 100 > nm is (hypothetically) the real advantage of a nanobuble over a > microbubble ? > Prof. Casimir is mentioned on page 29 section 3.1 in this article. http://www2.ijs.si/~kkocevar/skripta.pdf I think 6th or 7th power is more like it.
