Type of article: Article

Summary

A simplified model, based on heat transfer through a wedge-shaped liquid microlayer and a lumped thermal analysis for a solid heater, is developed. The bubble growth model compares well with the available experimental data for intermediate and moderately wetting fluids in which Jacob number ranges from 0.52 to 1974.
