THE RELATION BETWEEN BUBBLE FREQUENCY AND DIAMETER DURING NUCLEATE POOL BOILING

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Heat and Mass Transfer
Data concerning the frequency and diameter with which bubbles leave a given bubble site in nucleate pool boiling are presented. The data were obtained from a boiling study of liquid nitrogen. It is shown that the existing correlation relating the frequency and diameter does not predict the data. From a dimensional analysis coupled with available experimental data a new relationship was developed, viz.f. D/sup 1/2/ = const. A simple force balance on the departing bubble is shown to indicate the same result. (auth)
