  2. Nucleate boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleate_boiling

    DNB is also known as transition boiling, unstable film boiling, and partial film boiling. For water boiling as shown on the graph, transition boiling occurs when the temperature difference between the surface and the boiling water is approximately 30 to 130 °C (54 to 234 °F) above the T S. This corresponds to the high peak and the low peak on ...

  3. Critical heat flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_heat_flux

    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. DNB happens when many bubbles near the heated surface coalesce and impede the ability of local liquid to reach the surface.

  4. Boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

    Transition boiling is an intermediate, unstable form of boiling with elements of both types. The boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F but is lower with the decreased atmospheric pressure found at higher altitudes. Boiling water is used as a method of making it potable by killing microbes and viruses that may be present. The sensitivity ...

  5. Siwoloboff method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siwoloboff_method

    The apparatus is heated. Dissolved gases evolve from the sample first, and the air in the capillary tube expands. Once the sample starts to boil, heating is stopped, and the temperature starts to fall. The temperature at which the liquid sample is sucked into the sealed capillary is the boiling point of the sample. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  6. Boiling water reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor

    Transition boiling is the unstable transient region where nucleate boiling tends toward film boiling. A water drop dancing on a hot frying pan is an example of film boiling. During film boiling a volume of insulating vapor separates the heated surface from the cooling fluid; this causes the temperature of the heated surface to increase ...

  7. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Phase transition or phase change, takes place in a thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another one by heat transfer. Phase change examples are the melting of ice or the boiling of water. The Mason equation explains the growth of a water droplet based on the effects of heat transport on evaporation and condensation.

  8. Trouton's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trouton's_rule

    The entropy of vaporization of XeF 6 at its boiling point has the extraordinarily high value of 136.9 J/(K·mol). [4] The characteristic of those liquids to which Trouton’s rule cannot be applied is their special interaction between molecules, such as hydrogen bonding. The entropy of vaporization of water and ethanol shows positive deviance ...

  9. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    Another type of binary phase diagram is a boiling-point diagram for a mixture of two components, i. e. chemical compounds. For two particular volatile components at a certain pressure such as atmospheric pressure , a boiling-point diagram shows what vapor (gas) compositions are in equilibrium with given liquid compositions depending on temperature.
