Film Boiling: Heat Flux and Vapor Instabilities

This lecture covers the determination of maximum heat flux in film boiling, the stability of vapor layers, prediction of heat flux, and comparisons with experimental data. It also discusses the Leidenfrost mechanism, vapor jets, and columns, along with correlations and the growth of bubbles. The instructor explores the Zuber-Kutateladze equation, the prediction of minimum heat flux, and the comparison of theoretical predictions with experimental results.
