Abstract
We start from a bubble, the basic unit of boiling, to explore liquid boiling. Research indicates that the heat and mass transfer between liquid and vapor is the determinant factor of boiling heat transfer. We have analyzed interfacial vaporization and condensation of a single bubble in boiling liquid based on a zero-flux zone model. We have deduced the expression of zero-flux angle and discussed the relationship between zero-flux zone and the other parameters in order to comprehend the mechanism of boiling heat transfer. ? 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
