I think my brain is finally wrapping itself around this better! It is the high speed of the water through the venturi throat that make it work so well? The rapidly flowing water rips the little CO2 bubbles apart as they squeeze out thru the orifice? That makes a lot of sense. Then as the flow slows downstream, the pressure rises, which shrinks the bubbles even more? If I have it right, the best location to inject the CO2 would be the venturi throat, where the velocity of the water is the highest. And the smaller the inlet orifice for the CO2, the smaller the entering CO2 bubble , making the shredded bubble the smallest.
Thanks for stimulating my mind with this!! Now I can visualize ways to use this effectively.
