Destabilization of vapor film boiling around spheres
J.W. Stevens,Larry C. Witte +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied energy transfer and vapor film destabilization processes in an experiment where a sphere traveling with a constant velocity of 1.52 m/s was quenched in distilled water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient film and transition boiling from a sphere
J.W. Stevens,Larry C. Witte +1 more
TL;DR: The behavior of the vapor wake is highly dependent upon the manner in which vapor is being formed on the forward portion of the sphere as discussed by the authors, and it is shown that film and transition boiling are as effective as nucleate boiling over the velocity range, 9.6-20.0 fps, in highly subcooled water.
