“Pressure Blocking” Effect in the Growing Vapor Bubble in a Highly Superheated Liquid

  • HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS
  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The problem on the growth of a vapor bubble in a liquid whose superheating enthalpy exceeds the phase transition heat has been considered. A physical model of the “pressure blocking” in the bubble is presented. The problem for the conditions of the experiment on the effervescence of a butane drop has been solved numerically. An algorithm for constructing an analytical solution of the problem on the bubble growth in a highly superheated liquid is proposed.
