Abstract
A digital photographic study of pool boiling with R11 was performed on a horizontal transparent heater at pressure at 0.1 MPa. A high-speed digital camera was applied to record the bubble behaviors of boiling process. The departure diameter, departure time, and nucleation site density at different heat flux were obtained. From the video images, it can be concluded that evaporation of microlayer is very important to the growth of bubble. It was also observed that there is not any liquid replenished into the microlayer below the bubble. In addition, bubble growth curve and dry-out area growth curve could be determined by analyzing the images. Based on the experimental result, boiling curve for R11 was predicted by using the dynamic microlayer model. As a result, the agreement between the predictions and the experiment data is good at high heat flux.
