MECHANISMS OF BOILING OF AN EMULSION WITH A LOW-BOILING DISPERSE PHASE IN A TURBULENT FLOW OF A HOMOGENEOUS EMULSION

摘要

A theoretical analysis of the time delay in the boiling of overheated drops in a turbulent flow of a homogeneous emulsion with a low-boiling disperse phase has been performed. Model relations determining the influence of the fluctuations of the velocity of a turbulent flow of an overheated emulsion on the formation of critical vapor bubbles in the disperse-phase drops have been derived. The initiation of formation of stable centers of nucleation of the vapor phase in an overheated emulsion by the factors determining the deformation and fragmentation of drops in it has been considered. The results obtained were compared with the corresponding experimental data.
