Abstract

Nucleate and transition boiling are performed in a horizontal narrow space between a heated upward-facing copper disk and an unheated surface for saturated n-pentane. The heat flux and the wall temperature are determined by mean of an inverse heat conduction method. The influence of the confinement on the boiling curves and the flow patterns are analysed. Characteristic instabilities are observed at low heat flux and during the transition regime.
