Boiling of Liquids: Main Lines of Scientific Studies (Based of the Proceedings of the IHTC-16 and RNHTC-7)

Аннотация

The article is a review devoted to boiling heat transfer problems based on the reports discussed at the two largest conferences held in 2018. Boiling and evaporation issues were addressed in approximately 150 reports, and approximately half of them are considered in this review. The review contains four sections: vapor phase incipience and vapor bubble dynamics, pool boiling heat transfer and burnout, boiling in channels, and unsteady film boiling. This division is conditional in nature because some reports can be related to two sections according to their content. Although the author of the review tried to reflect the content of reports in a maximally unbiased manner, the review text also reflects his own assessments. The author’s 50 years of experience in the scientific research fields that are the subject of analysis enables him to do so.
