Peculiarities of boiling of emulsions with a low-boiling disperse phase

Boiling of small droplets

“…Droplet radii are chosen in the range 2 6 R d 6 15 lm, which are typical of emulsions used in heat transfer research [3,23,24]. Three combinations of fluids are simulated.…”

“…Recent studies of boiling dilute emulsions have identified unusual boiling behavior attributed to the boiling of individual droplets while in suspension [3]. These droplets are typically two to three orders of magnitude smaller than those found in direct contact heat exchangers, and so their behavior during boiling is also quite different.…”

Effect of the droplet size of an emulsion dispersion phase in nucleate boiling and emulsion boiling crisis

“…The boiling of emulsions with a low-boiling disperse phase is accompanied by a number of peculiarities [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These are high superheating of droplets, wide, as compared with pure liquids, intervals of nucleate boiling, and high values of heat transfer coefficients.…”

Thermophysical Properties and Pool Boiling Characteristics of Water-in-Polyalphaolefin Nanoemulsion Fluids

“…Recently, the authors had proposed a new "nanoemulsion heat transfer fluid" system in which one liquid is dispersed into another immiscible liquid as self-assembled nanodroplets to improve the fluid thennal properties [8][9][10]12,13]. The nanoemulsion heat transfer fluids belong to the family of microemulsion and are thermodynamically stable which is different from widely used emulsions [19][20][21][22][23][24]30,35^1]. The dispersed low boiling point fluid is expected to modify the thermophysical properties of base oil especially its phase change behavior.…”
