ABSTRACT

S.G. Kandlikar 3.1.1 Pool Boiling A change of phase from liquid to vapor across a liquid-vapor interface is called evaporation. Boiling refers to heat transfer-induced evaporation associated with vapor bubbles. The nature of the specific liquid-vapor system gives rise to different types of boiling:

1. Pool boiling refers to the boiling process in which the liquid is essentially quiescent and vapor bubbles rise as a result of buoyancy forces induced by gravity or other body forces.
