Bubble behaviour and mean diameter in subcooled flow boiling.

Author(s) : ZEITOUN O., SHOUKRI M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The high-speed photographic results indicated that, contrary to the common understanding, bubbles tend to detach from the heating surface upstream of the net vapour generation point. Effects of the liquid subcooling, applied heat flux, and mass flux on the mean bubble size were investigated. A correlation for the mean bubble diameter as a function of the local subcooling, heat flux, and mass flux was obtained.
