Abstract
The transition between regular and irregular bubble departure pattern of film boiling on a horizontal heating wire is investigated experimentally. A range of transition heat flux can be identified. The transition is gradual in nature and is proposed as caused by bubble coalescence mechanism. A simple estimate for the transition heat flux under saturated film boiling is proposed and compared with experiments.
