Nucleation Site Activation in Saturated Boiling

Abstract: An experimental investigation is presented for the boiling of distilled degassed water at atmospheric pressure on a single copper surface with different surface finishes, in which the activation of nucleation cavities under the influence of different levels of heat flux was investigated. The measured active cavity radii showed good agreement with the active cavity radii predicted by the Hsu model. As a result of this investigation, it would appear that smaller cavities are better able to entrap vapor residue a… Show more

“…Presented conclusions are supported by important experimental data [47] on sizes and distribution of operating natural nucleation sites studied through immediate optical observation of boiling process on heating surfaces with different finish classes (with standard roughness parameter R p from 0.1 to 0.4 μm).…”

“…However, the results of some similar experiments show qualitatively differing trends. In this context it also presents significant interest coincidence of experimental curves on boiling of water on massive copper surface [47] and on thin platinum wire with diameter 0.3 mm [57] at atmospheric pressure.…”
