The diffusion of turbulent buoyant jets is considered along with the boiling of multicomponent liquid mixtures, heat flow rates in saturated nucleate pool boiling, and a review of turbulent-boundary-layer heat transfer research at Stanford, 1958-1983. In connection with the boiling of mulitcomponent liquid mixtures, attention is given to the fundamentals of vapor-liquid phase equilibria, the inception of boiling, bubble growth, bubble departure, nucleate pool boiling heat transfer, prediction of nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients, peak nucleate heat flux, film boiling, and convective boiling. A wide-ranging examination using reduced properties is conducted in the study of heat flow rates in saturated nucleate pool boiling.
