TLDR
In this paper, an analytical expression for the heat-transfer coefficient near the minimum in film pool boiling from a horizontal surface was derived, based on a simplified geometrical model.Abstract:
Taylor-Helmholtz Hydrodynamic Instability and its significance with regard to film boiling heat transfer from a horizontal surface is discussed. It is shown that near the minimum film-boiling heat flux, the bubble spacing and growth rate is determined by Taylor Instability neglecting the effect of fluid depth and viscosity. Utilizing a simplified geometrical model, an analytical expression for the heat-transfer coefficient near the minimum in film pool boiling from a honizontal surface was derived. Combining this equation with the available correlation for the minimum heat flux yields an analytical equation for the temperature difference at the minimum, which defines the location of the minimum point. The above equations agree with the available experimental measurements made on n-pentane and carbon tetracliloride within plus or minus 10 per cent. (auth)read more

Mechanisms of hydrovolcanic pyroclast formation: Grain-size, scanning electron microscopy, and experimental studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed over 200 samples of hydrovolcanic ash and determined five pyroclast shape types: blocky and equant, vesicular and irregular with smooth surfaces, moss-like and convoluted, spherical or drop-like, and plate-like.

Explosive magma-water interactions: Thermodynamics, explosion mechanisms, and field studies
TL;DR: In this article, an ideal thermodynamic treatment was proposed for a tephra-water interaction, in which the magma and external water are allowed to come to thermal equilibrium before explosive expansion, and the maximum system pressure and entropy were determined by the mass ratio of water and magma interacting.
