A simplified physical model of a single bubble growth during nucleate pool boiling was developed. The model was able to correlate the experimentally observed data of the bubble’s growth time and its radius evolution with the use of the appropri...
The cellular morphology of thermoplastic polymeric foams is a key factor for their performances. Three possible foam morphologies exist, namely, with closed cells, interconnected cellular structure, and open cells. In the gas foaming technology, a ph...
This paper investigates and assesses the potential applicability of global mass transfer coefficients derived from large-scale experiments to the bubble growth of a single bubble in a super-saturated flow (σ=9). Therefore, it presents, for a sp...
The nonlinear dynamics of charged cavitation bubbles are investigated theoretically and analytically in this study through the Rayleigh–Plesset model in dielectric liquids. The physical and mathematical situations consist of two models: the fir...
This study employs OpenFOAM to analyze the behavior of a single laser-produced cavitation bubble in a Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluid inside a rigid cylinder. This research aimed to numerically calculate the impact of liquid disc microjet resulting fro...
This study numerically investigates the growth and dynamics of a single vapor bubble in a rectangular microchannel under subcooled and saturated inlet conditions using the phase-field method coupled with the Lee phase-change model. Results demonstrat...
Understanding the mechanism of bubble growth is crucial to modeling boiling heat transfer and enabling the development of technological applications, such as energy systems and thermal management processes, which rely on boiling to achieve the high h...
The boiling process is utterly fundamental to the design and safety of water-cooled fission reactors. Both boiling water reactors and pressurised water reactors use boiling under high-pressure subcooled liquid flow conditions to achieve high surface...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been frequently applied to model the growth conditions in photobioreactors, which are affected in a complex way by multiple, interacting physical processes. We review common photobioreactor types and discuss th...
This study systematically investigates the formation mechanism and development characteristics of the “foamy oil” phenomenon during pressure depletion development of high-viscosity crude oil through a combination of physical experiments a...
