The effect of surface conditions on nuceate pool boiling heat transfer to sodium

A simplified theoretical model for bubble nucleation stability has been proposed, and an approximate stability criterion has been developed. This criterion contains both fluid and surfqce properties, and it predicts that nucleation for sodium should be unstable. Commercial grade sodium was boiled fr...
