The influence of an electric field on the heat transfer rate during film boiling of stagnant fluids.

Author(s) : VERPLAETSEN F., BERGHMANS J. A.

Summary

The paper describes the influence of an electric field on the heat transfer rate during film boiling from a horizontal surface of stagnant fluids (pool boiling). Modeling the influence of an electric field on the heat transfer during film boiling requires the knowledge of the equilibrium shape of the liquid-vapour interface. This equilibrium shape is calculated using an iterative solution technique. It is shown that the vapour bubbles formed on this interface, elongate in the presence of an electric field. This effect is then accounted for in the existing heat transfer models.
