Mironov, Y V

An equation for the size distribution function of vapor voids in two-phase flow is discussed in connection with surface boiling of a subcooled liquid in ducts. An analytical solution is obtained for the initial boiling interval, neglecting aggregation and breakup of vapor voids. The lengthwise variations along the duct of the vapor content and quantity of heat transferred to the liquid in vapor void condensation are calculated. Correlation is obtained between the heat of condensation of the vapor voids, the vapor content, and the local subcooling of the liquid prior to boiling.
