Abstract
The microlayer present at the bottom of the bubble plays a very important role in heat transfer during nucleation boiling. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of microlayer at the bottom of boiling bubble in a small channel were studied by laser interferometry method and high speed camera, and the results were compared with pool boiling experiments. The results show that the bubbles have an obvious tendency to slip in the flow boiling. The microlayer interference fringe is deformed and no longer a complete Newtonian ring. By analyzing the thickness distribution of microlayer in different directions in flow boiling and the change of micro-contact angle in the flow direction, it was found that the micro-contact angle in the flow direction became larger with the growth of bubbles.
