Liquid Crystal Studies Of Sliding Vapour Bubbles

摘要

The paper discusses localized measurements that may be used to validate individual sub-models in mechanistic models of nucleate boiling on inclined surfaces with sliding bubbles. A previous study of wall temperature variations near isolated sliding bubbles by Kenning et al. (Multiphase Sci Technol 14:75-94, 2002), employing liquid crystal thermography, has been expanded in range and compared with recent studies by Qiu and Dhir (Exp Therm Fluid Sci 26:605-616, 2002) and Bayazit et al. (J Heat Transfer 125:503-509, 2003). The implications for modelling nucleate boiling are discussed.
