Pool Boiling: Bubble Growth and Heat Transfer

This lecture covers the timescale of bubble growth and departure, nucleate boiling model, and critical heat flux model. It also discusses bubble growth near heated surfaces, heat transfer in the bubble base region, and timescale analysis of heat transfer mechanisms. The lecture further explores microconvection and the vapor-liquid exchange model, as well as Kevin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. Zuber's model and the boiling curve are also explained, along with the Rohsenow correlation. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for efficient heat transfer applications.
