Pool Boiling: Regimes and Heat Transfer

This lecture covers the different regimes of pool boiling, including natural convection, nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and film boiling. It explains the characteristics of each regime and the heat transfer mechanisms involved, such as bubble formation, collapse, and rise to the free surface. The instructor discusses the Leidenfrost point and the critical heat flux in each regime, providing examples with different liquids and heating conditions. The lecture also introduces the Nukiyama curve and the Rosenow correlation for nucleate boiling, highlighting the factors influencing heat transfer in pool boiling.
