Experimental study on bubble dynamics and wall heat transfer arising from a single nucleation site at subcooled flow boiling conditions - Part 2: Data analysis on sliding bubble characteristics and associated wall heat transfer

Lastly, the sliding bubbles enhanced the wall heat transfer and the effect became more noticeable as inlet subcooling/mass flux decreased or wall heat flux increased. In particular, the sliding bubble characteristics such as bubble growth behavior observed near the nucleation site played a dominant role in determining the ultimate level of wall heat transfer enhancement within the test channel.
