Experimental Evidence of the Vapor Recoil Mechanism in the Boiling Crisis

Abstract: Boiling crisis experiments are carried out in the vicinity of the liquid-gas critical point of H2. A magnetic gravity compensation set-up is used to enable nucleate boiling at near critical pressure. The measurements of the critical heat flux that defines the threshold for the boiling crisis are carried out as a function of the distance from the critical point. The obtained power law behavior and the boiling crisis dynamics agree with the predictions of the vapor recoil mechanism and disagree with the classica… Show more

“…Therefore, higher hydrophobicity (i.e., larger contact angle) hinders the bubble departure and thus facilitates the transition from nucleate boiling into film boiling. This is consistent with the vapor recoil theory for the boiling transition [5,13]. Moreover, the insets of Fig.…”

“…Physically, the larger the bubble base length, the stronger the bubble adhesion to the substrate, and hence the larger the bubble volume is required for departure. We also investigate the effects of surface superheating on the bubble dynamics with similar findings that can be interpreted using the temperature dependence of contact angle [13,34,44].…”
