Leidenfrost point for subheated drops

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A theory of the heat-exchange crisis on a heated surface with drops evaporating on it is proposed. The critical temperature is found in the form of a function of the physical parameters, size, and initial subheating of the drops.
