Dynamics of vapor film formation upon rapid superheating of liquid
Annotation
The formation of a vapor film on a heater in the modes of rapid near-wall superheating of liquid at positive and negative pressures is considered. A model of this phenomenon and a technique for calculating the vaporization front velocity are proposed. Tests of this model in experiments with n-heptane at pressures from −2 to +0.2 MPa and heating rates of ∼0.5 K/μs showed a significant effect of capillary forces on the dynamics of vapor film formation.
