Abstract
This study presents the results of the experimental investigation of local and integral characteristics of heat transfer at liquid pool boiling. Saturated ethanol and water were used as the working fluids. Thin, resistively heated indium-tin oxide films deposited onto the sapphire substrates were used as the heaters. The synchronized measurements of the heater surface temperature field and dynamics of vapor bubbles were performed by high-speed infrared thermography with the frame rate of 1000 fps and resolution of up to 0.13 μm/px and high-speed video recording. In this paper new data on major local boiling characteristics, such as nucleation site density, dynamics of vapor bubbles, temporal characteristics and nucleation frequency at different heat fluxes and superheating and their comparison with correlations are presented.
