The Quenching Method of Determining Boiling Curves on Spheres

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of several experimental parameters on the pool boiling curves determined by the quenching method using spheres. The effects of sphere diameter, sphere metal and the test liquid used, were studied. Tests were also carried out to determine whether local angular variations in the boiling curve exist on a sphere.
