Physical Fundamentals of Vapor Bubble Formation

  • Chapter
Heat Transfer in Condensation and Boiling

Part of the book series: International Series in Heat and Mass Transfer ((HEAT))

Abstract

The heat transfer during vaporization is more easily understood if one knows how vapor bubbles form at heating surfaces. In the following, we shall first discuss the formation and growth of vapor bubbles before we treat the different types of heat transfer in detail.
