Vapour bubble dynamics in a flat mimi-channel under intense heating

Abstract

Investigation of subcooled nucleate boiling in minichannels was conducted with high speed recording optical system also equiped with high spatial resolution optics. Obtained data on the bubble dynamics is in good agreement with well-known correlations from the literature. The final stage of bubble dynamics is in good agreement with the Labuntsov correlation for spherical vapor bubble growth on a heated wall.
