  2. Nucleate boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleate_boiling

    The critical heat flux is the peak on the curve between nucleate boiling and transition boiling. The heat transfer from surface to liquid is greater than that in film boiling. Nucleate boiling is common in electric kettles and is responsible for the noise that occurs before boiling occurs. It also occurs in water boilers where water is rapidly ...

  4. Nucleation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleation

    Bubbles of carbon dioxide nucleate shortly after the pressure is released from a container of carbonated liquid. Nucleation in boiling can occur in the bulk liquid if the pressure is reduced so that the liquid becomes superheated with respect to the pressure-dependent boiling point. More often, nucleation occurs on the heating surface, at ...

  5. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by ...

  6. Critical heat flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_heat_flux

    The critical heat flux is an important point on the boiling curve and it may be desirable to operate a boiling process near this point. However, one could become cautious of dissipating heat in excess of this amount. Zuber, [6] through a hydrodynamic stability analysis of the problem has developed an expression to approximate this point.

  7. Thermal hydraulics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_hydraulics

    Flow boiling regime progression (top) and qualitative description of heat transfer (bottom) Heat transfer coefficient due to nucleate boiling increases with wall superheat until they reach a certain point. When the applied heat flux exceeds the certain limit, heat transfer capability of the flow decreases or significantly drops.

  8. Zeotropic mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeotropic_mixture

    Zeotropic mixtures have different characteristics in nucleate and convective boiling, as well as in the organic Rankine cycle. Because zeotropic mixtures have different properties than pure fluids or azeotropic mixtures , zeotropic mixtures have many unique applications in industry, namely in distillation, refrigeration, and cleaning processes.

  9. Classical nucleation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_nucleation_theory

    Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is the most common theoretical model used to quantitatively study the kinetics of nucleation. [1] [2] [3] [4]Nucleation is the first step in the spontaneous formation of a new thermodynamic phase or a new structure, starting from a state of metastability.
