The stability of pool nucleate boiling over a thin horizontal cylindrical heater to thermal perturbations of finite size and amplitude was investigated. The critical size of the superheated zone was found to sharply decrease with increasing power dissipated by the heater. The data obtained are in agreement with theoretical predictions.
