The solution of the diffusion equation in spherical coordinates subject to time-dependent boundary conditions is derived. The solution can be employed to describe the growth of either a diffusion-controlled gas bubble or a heat transfer-controlled vapor bubble provided that convection effect is negligible. It is shown that the Epstein-Plesset solution for a gas bubble in a constant pressure field and the Jones-Zuber solution in a Cartesian coordinate system for a vapor bubble in a variable pressure field are special cases of the present solution. Numerical results obtained from the present analysis compare favorably with available experimental data for the growth of both gas and vapor bubbles during decompression processes.

Abstract A variable pressure damper (VPD) is used here to adjusted the friction force on the valve spring to investigate the relation between the friction force and the valve bouncing phenomenon. The friction force on the valve spring is found experimentally, and the corresponding friction coefficient is also determined. Dynamic valve displacements at different speeds with different friction forces are calibrated. Bouncing and floating of the valve are observed when the camshaft reaches high speed. From the measured valve displacement, the VPD is shown to have significant improvement in reducing valve bouncing distance and eliminating floating. However, experimental results indicate that the valve bouncing can not be eliminated completely when the camshaft speed is at 2985 rpm.
