EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON A SINGLE DROPLET AND DROPLET-DROPLET BOILING PHENOMENA

An experimental, phenomenological study was conducted in order to explore single droplet and droplet-droplet nucleation, transition, and film boiling characteristics and fundamental behaviors. Essential differences were identified and described for the different boiling processes. In the case of single droplet impact and nucleation boiling, we identified three stages of evolution: temperature increase, nucleation boiling incipience, and bubble...
