  2. 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 ...

  3. 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. Boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

    There are two main types of boiling: nucleate boiling where small bubbles of vapour form at discrete points, and critical heat flux boiling where the boiling surface is heated above a certain critical temperature and a film of vapour forms on the surface. Transition boiling is an intermediate, unstable form of boiling with elements of both ...

  5. Nucleated red blood cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleated_red_blood_cell

    A human peripheral blood smear; NRBCs are visible as larger cells with dark centers.. A nucleated red blood cell (NRBC), also known by several other names, is a red blood cell that contains a cell nucleus.

  6. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    The cell nucleus (from Latin nucleus or nuculeus 'kernel, seed'; pl.: nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.Eukaryotic cells usually have a single nucleus, but a few cell types, such as mammalian red blood cells, have no nuclei, and a few others including osteoclasts have many.

  7. Critical heat flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_heat_flux

    So in general CBT is the result of some degree of liquid deficiency to a local position along a heated surface. The two mechanisms that result in reaching CBT are: departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and liquid film dryout. DNB. Departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) occurs in sub-cooled flows and bubbly flow regimes.

  8. Microtubule nucleation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule_nucleation

    In cell biology, microtubule nucleation is the event that initiates de novo formation of microtubules (MTs). These filaments of the cytoskeleton typically form through polymerization of α- and β-tubulin dimers, the basic building blocks of the microtubule, which initially interact to nucleate a seed from which the filament elongates.

  9. Multinucleate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinucleate

    Multinucleate cells (also known as multinucleated cells or polynuclear cells) are eukaryotic cells that have more than one nucleus, i.e., multiple nuclei share one common cytoplasm.
