Experimental and theoretical study of the transient boiling mechanism

Transition boiling is of interest since it is realized in a large number of cryogenic, power generation and metallurgical equipment, for stabilization of superconductors and in failure regimes in atomic reactors. This paper attempts to generalize the characteristics of the physical mechanism (heat-transfer) and to complete mathematical models describing the process. These studies of the heat-exchange mechanism are carried out for transition boiling of a liquid on a planar surface
