Abstract

>Film boiling is studied for water and Freon-11 (CCl₃F) at atmospheric pressure on a flat horizontal aluminum heating surface 8 in. square. High speed motion pictures were taken from which interbubble distances, bubble periods, breakoff diameters, and geometric arrangement of bubbles were determined. The results show that the minimum heat flux in film boiling from a horizontal surface is definitely a type of Taylor hydrodynamic instability. A new experimental technique was developed for obtaining film boiling on a large area without the necessity of using huge heat fluxes to go over the peak of the boiling curve. Once film boiling was established, the film boiling region could be traversed by changing the heat output from the gas burner beneath the slab. (auth)
