RT Journal Article ID 1ba1d5fe66090903 A1 Prisnyakov, V. F. T1 Density of Nucleation Sites JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 1998 FD 1998-03-01 VO 29 IS 1-3 SP 85 OP 101 AB Formulas well-known for one of the most important inner characteristics of boiling, density of nucleation sites, are analyzed. The most general formula to calculate this characteristic is proposed; this formula comprises the formulas given in the literature as special cases. Calculations by the formula are compared with numerous experimental data. The effect of various factors, such as the mate-rial and roughness of a heating surface, artificial pores, pressure, the type of boil¬ing liquid, the underheating of liquid, the overheating of wall, the anisothermic properties of surface, the location of heating surface, on the density of nucleation sites is analyzed.
