Type of article: Article

Summary

Classical analyses of boiling nucleation typically employed a linear approach with nucleation phenomena investigated by focusing on a single site and the heat transfer obtained from the active site density assuming uniform wall superheat. Possible strong interactions among bubbles were ignored. The article proposes a new theoretical framework to analyse the interactions among bubbles and the self-organizing effect among bubbles was revealed. These studies may provide a more reasonable mechanistic description or engineering instruction on boiling heat transfer.
