How are air bubbles formed in a vessel?
The introduction of air bubbles near the bottom of a vessel filled with water causes the air bubbles to rise to the top of the water column and in so doing presents a rather large hydrophobic surface area formed by the total number of rising air bubbles at any given point in time.
What happens to the volume of a bubble as it rises?
If you consider only the expansion of the air in the bubble as it rises, its volume increases 5-fold on its way to the surace, if the temperature is constant. A 5-fold increase in volume corresponds to an increase of about 70% in the diameter. If the temperature at the surface is warmer than at depth, this would add a little bit more to the volume.
What’s the pressure at the bottom of an air bubble?
While the pressure decreases from about 125 kPa at the bottom of the contact zone to approximately 101.3 kPa at the top, for purposes of using densities to calculate bubble rise velocities, the lower atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa is used.
Why are there bubbles coming out of my pool pump?
Left unaddressed it will cause other problems as well, and those problems could have minor or major impact. Remember that any pool’s filtration system, even when functioning correctly, will kick out a few bubbles here and there from the return jet, especially during initial start-up of the pump and shortly after.
Why do I have a bubble in my toilet?
The “A” region has a number of small holes that lead into the bowl in order to rinse down the sides. If a lot of these holes are blocked, this would explain why air is getting trapped. Normally, the air can vent through these holes. Use something like a straightened wire shirt hanger to clear them out. – Dave Tweed Apr 12 ’15 at 14:27

Why do I have air bubbles in my syringe barrel?
If all of your dispenser settings are correct, this is likely a result of entrapped air. To prevent air from impacting deposit consistency when dispensing from a syringe barrel: If you’re filling a syringe barrel with a low-to-medium viscosity fluid, be sure to hold the barrel at an angle to prevent air bubbles from forming.
What to do when a bubble comes out of a siphon jet?
You may be interested in adjusting or installing a chain float which will hopefully allow enough water to flow after the bubble pops, to create a siphon. If the OP is getting a big bubble coming out of the siphon jet, it isn’t clogged, but a lot of air in the region above it (“A” in your diagram) is getting trapped and forced down the siphon jet.
