On the theory of the bulk foam-formation of gas-saturated liquid during the depressurizing of container

The problem of depressurizing in the gas-saturated liquid is considered. It is found out that the smaller is the initial radius of original germ of gas, the more pressure drops as compared with equilibrium pressure. The solution of the system that describes the transition from the metastable state to the equilibrium two-phase state is found. It is found that the characteristic time of exit from the metastable state depends on the initial number of gas germ.
