Abstract:This paper uses thin-film asymptotics to show how a thin vapour layer can support a liquid which is heated from below and cooled from above, a process known as horizontal film boiling. This approach leads to a single, strongly-nonlinear evolution equation which incorporates buoyancy, capillary and evaporative effects. The stability of the vapour layer is analysed using a variety of methods for both saturated and subcooled film boiling. In subcooled film boiling, there is a stationary solution, a constant-thick… Show more
“…A non-equilibrium evaporation equation for the interface, where both evaporation and condensation occur, was derived by Schrage [14], and is linearized to Eq. (26), as discussed by Panzarella et al [12]. Here T ¼ 0 and J ¼ 0 depicts an equilibrium state, T > 0 and J > 0 the evaporation, and T < 0 and J < 0 the condensation.…”

“…The effect of the liquid-solid contact line is investigated in this study. Stability analysis ( [12], for example) of the vapor-liquid interface in film boiling also shows a spontaneous incipient rupture process of the vapor film. The liquid, upon touching the bottom (vaporfilm rupture), may either spread (toward transition boiling) or vaporize (toward film boiling), depending upon the competitive effects of evaporation and feeding from the liquid bulk above.…”
