Abstract

This paper relates measurements using the new technique for quantifying liquid-solid contact to simultaneous measurements of the heat flux versus surface superheat relationship. Transient pool boiling tests are carried out on an aluminium block with an anodised heat transfer surface. Heat flux is calculated by an inverse heat conduction solution.

The results show that a number of assumptions frequently made in the past need modifying.
