BOILING HEAT TRANSFER

Abstract

This analysis concerns problems of heat transfer in nucleate boiling. Nucleate boiling is characterized by the formation of vapor at individual sites on the heating surface, evaporation centers, and imparts to the liquid and vapor mixture a complex inhomogeneous structure. This phenomenon pertains to one of the most complex problems in the hydrodynamics of liquidvapor systems, namely to flows in which the phase components of the flux are separated into individual formations bounded by the mobile phase interfaces. These formations (bubbles, drops, films), variable in space and time, are numerous, so that the probability laws of a multi-element system should be in effect. At present there are no consistent analytical methods for such systems. The purpose of the analysis is to discuss some of the main questions of the boiling heattransfer theory and to generalize the results of experimental work. (Author)
