Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is a clarification of the effect of quantum nature of liquid hydrogen (uncertainty of the position of the atomic nucleus and momentum) on the bubble inception rate, which is the indicator of the ease of bubble formation. Therefore, molecular simulation to reproduce the liquid hydrogen state in the molecular scale was conducted, and the following two results were obtained. (1)The quantum nature of hydrogen decreases the bubble inception rate by 5-10 orders from a macroscopic point of view (thermodynamic point of view). (2) The quantum nature has an effect to increase the molecular volume apparently from a microscopic (molecular) point of view, and this effect is one of the causes of the above result (1).
