The role of surface conditions in nucleate boiling

Nucleation from a single cavity has been stuied indicating that cavity gemtry is aportant in two ways. The mouth diameter determines the superheat nmeded to initiate boiling and its shape determines its stability one boiling has begun. Contact angle is shown to be important in bubble nucleation prim...
