Investigation of bubble departure radius in subcooled pool boiling under microgravity condition
The bubble departure radius is a very important parameter for bubble dynamics during boiling heat transfer. In this study, experiments of highly subcooled nucleate pool boiling of FC-72 were conducted on two different sized silicon chips (chip S 2×2 and chip S 1×1) in short-term microgravity and normal gravity conditions by utilizing the drop tower in Beijing. During the experimental study, bubble
