Boiling Phenomena: Stability and Heat Transfer

This lecture covers the different regimes of pool boiling, including natural convection, nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and film boiling. It discusses the stability of boiling phenomena, the multiplicity of solutions, hysteresis, and whether the process is flux-controlled or heat-controlled. The instructor explains the Rosenow correlation for nucleate boiling and its key parameters. The lecture also delves into the determination of maximum and minimum heat flux, Rayleigh-Taylor instability, and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. It concludes with the dispersion relation of a vapor jet in liquid and toroidal vortices.
