Resumo

The paper aims to identify the ways to overcome the impasse in boiling heat transfer theory, due to prolonged disregard of the scientific breakthrough made in the 1960s. Pumping effect of growing bubble (PEGB), heat transfer model “theatre of a director” (MTD), universal correlation (UC), micro-membrane pumping effect (MMP), multi-factoring concept (MFC), all these boiling heat transfer fundamentals were thoroughly neglected for half a century, passing the baton from one generation to another, closer to overcoming a life-cycle of the scientist. The UC, never challenged central result of boiling heat transfer research, it has been confirmed by studies only at 47th year of publishing! The neglect of controlling role of the nucleation and thermal and hydrodynamic consequences of the PEGB and MMP, full confuse with the characteristic length turned boiling heat transfer research into the sphere of pure empiricism. University textbooks and reference books highlight hopelessly outdated models and virtually helpless correlations. Important new research lines following from the above fundamentals still are underdeveloped. Among them the problem of detailed study of the control of heat transfer by the nucleation at microscale is a key to achieving new level of the knowledge. It is also necessary extensive research of mechanisms and consequences of the PEGB-MMP, and multi-factoring phenomenon, capable to uncover still unknown features of boiling heat transfer and hydrodynamics, both at the macro- and microscale.
