Bubble Growth Rates and Nucleation Site Densities in Saturated Pool Boiling of Water at High Pressures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed boiling behavior of water on horizontal and vertical surfaces at pressures from 0.35 to 5 MPa, and the growth curves of the primary bubbles were well described by the t1/2 variation over the whole range of pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study of nucleate boiling heat transfer enhancement in a confined space

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally studied the nucleate boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux in a confined space which consisted of two horizontal surfaces with a lower heated surface and an upper mesh screen.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer and Its Augmentation

TL;DR: In this article, a correlation method of nucleate boiling heat transfer by considering the factors that affect the heat-transfer processes is described. And the authors also illustrate potential measures for augmentation of NBO heat transfer and some results obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study on bubble dynamics for pool nucleate boiling

TL;DR: In this article, a characteristic length scale and a time scale are proposed to describe the dynamic growth and departure process of bubbles, and a correlation between bubble departure diameter and bubble growth time is established.

Optical studies of boiling heat transfer: insights and limitations

TL;DR: Optical studies provide valuable insights into the complex mechanisms of boiling heat transfer but the large gradients of temperature (and therefore of refractive index) deflect light and multiple reflections at interfaces limit the distance over which observations can be made as discussed by the authors.
