A characteristic length scale and a time scale are proposed to describe the dynamic growth and departure process of bubbles. A correlation between bubble departure diameter and bubble growth time is established thereby, and a predication formula for bubble departure diameter is suggested by considering the analogue between nucleate boiling and forced convection. #
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
