Outline of Final Research Achievements

Focusing on the microlayer, we studied the heat transfer mechanism of the MEB in the subcooled boiling theoretically and experimentally. First, we present the theoretical estimations of bubble-formation and growing periods on the heating surface under the large subcooling and high-superheat conditions. The estimations give us the boiling curves. In the experiments using platinum wire, we have obtained the heat transfer characteristics including the CHF. However, MEB is not observed on the boiling curve. For the large subcooling, fine bubbles are observed in high heat flux region, which is considered to be dissolved gases and have no significant effect on the boiling heat transfer. The comparisons between the experimental results and the microlayer model show good agreement and indicate that the period of the primary bubbles generated on the heat transfer surface is most important in the subcooled boiling heat transfer.
