Abstract

The calculation of the recovery heat flux density is considered for different conditions to investigate heat mass transfer processes. System of equations is based on the methods of continuum mechanics and molecular kinetic theory. Pressure distribution in the liquid is determined by the hydrostatic difference. At the vapor-liquid interface the Laplace formula is used. The vapor pressure in the film is determined by the non-equilibrium effects in the vapor near the interface. Heat transfer in a liquid is described by the Gorter-Mellink semi-empirical theory. Experimental data on the boiling of superfluid helium under various conditions are interpreted based on the formulated mathematical model. For all cases in the considered range of parameters, the qualitative and in some cases quantitative agreement between the calculated and experimental values of the recovery heat flux were obtained.
