Introduction to Boiling

This lecture provides an introduction to boiling and condensation, covering topics such as the boiling curve, different modes of boiling, and the fundamentals of heat transfer in boiling phenomena. It explains the heat transfer mechanisms involved in boiling, including nucleate boiling, film boiling, and critical heat flux. The lecture also discusses the complexities of the boiling phenomenon, illustrated by the boiling curve and observations from saturated pool boiling experiments.
