T1 Pool Boiling on a Surface Supplied by Low Activity Sites JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 1997 FD 1997-06-01 VO 28 IS 4-6 SP 255 OP 258 K1 Pool boiling; electronic cooling; nucleation AB The activity of nucleation sites depends on surface material, quality of manufacture, pressure and other factors. Boiling on a surface supplied by low activity sites occurs at a higher surface temperature and it is possible for the surface temperature to exceed a permissible value. For devices operating under condition of periodic power fluctuation and cooling by liquid immersion there is the danger of encountering such a high device superheat that the surface does not include active nucleation sites. Methods of lowering the boiling temperature and discussions of various correlations are presented in the paper.
