Summary

DEPENDENCE OF ACTIVE NUCLEATION SITE DENSITY ON BOILING SURFACE CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPED. THE AVERAGE CAVITY DENSITY IS OBTAINED FROM THE MEASUREMENT OF THE BOILING SURFACE. THE PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION OF THE CAVITY MOUTH RADIUS AND THE CONE ANGLE ARE OBTAINED THROUGH A STATISTICAL TREATMENT BASED ON THE MEASURED CAVITIES BY A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AND A DIFFERENTIAL INTERFERENCE CONTRAST MICROSCOPE. THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTAL DATA IS GOOD.
