Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A physical model of the dynamics of the formation and separation of bubbles during the discharge of vapor into an underheated liquid is discussed. Different regimes of formation of vapor bubbles in a liquid layer are discovered. The results of the analytic investigation are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
