Pool boiling heat transfer

This lecture covers the fundamentals of pool boiling heat transfer, including the differences between boiling and evaporation, the objective of determining boiling heat transfer coefficient, the various regimes of pool boiling, Nukiyama's experiment, and the stability of transition boiling. It also discusses the critical heat flux, bubble interference, and coalescence, as well as the multiplicity of solutions and hysteresis in transition boiling. The lecture concludes with an overview of the four regimes of pool boiling, emphasizing natural convection, nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and film boiling.
