  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 ...

  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

    Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, Trouton's rule states that the (molar) entropy of vaporization is almost the same value, about 85–88 J/(K·mol), for various kinds of liquids at their boiling points. [1]
