Abstract
This study reports some results obtained on nucleate flow boiling on an isolated nucleation site in microgravity. The experiments have been carried out aboard the International Space Station thanks to the Reference Multiscale Boiling Investigation (RUBI) device. Results reveal the pronounced influence of heat flux, subcooling temperature, flow rates on the bubble behavior, and more specifically on its growth rate. Deviations from the classical square-root time law of diffusive growth are observed at high subcoolings and high flow rates.
