T1 The Kinetics of Boiling and the Limit of Attainable Overheating of a Well-Degassed n-Pentane JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 2001 FD 2001-04-01 VO 32 IS 1-3 OP 8 AB The paper presents experimental data on the temperature dependence of the mean expectation time of the boiling-up of a strongly superheated liquid subjected to preliminary degassing. Basic parameters of the kinetic theory of homogeneous nucleation and the character of statistical distribution of the expectation time are estimated from experimental data. A conclusion is drawn about the inhomogeneous character of the boiling-up of a strongly superheated liquid and the necessity to improve the theory.
