Bubble Motion in Micro-Bubble Emission Boiling.

Micro-bubble emission boiling with the cavitation bubble blow pit

The miniaturization boiling (micro-bubble emission boiling [MEB]) phenomenon, with a high heat removal capacity that contributes considerably to the cooling of the divertor of the nuclear fusion reactor, was discovered in the early 1980s. Extensive research on MEB has been performed since its discovery. However, the progress of the application has been delayed because the generation mechanism o...

Steady State Vapor Bubble in Pool Boiling

Boiling, a dynamic and multiscale process, has been studied for several decades; however, a comprehensive understanding of the process is still lacking. The bubble ebullition cycle, which occurs over millisecond time-span, makes it extremely challenging to study near-surface interfacial characteristics of a single bubble. Here, we create a steady-state vapor bubble that can remain stable for ho...

SupercriticalCarbon Dioxide Micro-Bubble

Advances in the apptication of supercritical (SC), gaseous (G), and ]iquid (LQ) C02 hayc been made regarding the interaction with biological materials or organisms. There are sevcral reports dealing with the influences of SC, G, and LQ C02 on proteins,i'2) amino acids,i) enzymes,3'S) and microbial eells.b'7) Kamihara et aL have described that wet cells (water content of 70-90g,h) of baker's yea...

Prediction of bubble departure in forced convection boiling: A mechanistic

Acoustic trapping in bubble-bounded micro-cavities

We present a method for controllably producing longitudinal acoustic trapping sites insidemicrofluidic 5 channels. Air bubbles are injected into amicro-capillary to create bubble-bounded ‘micro-cavities’. A cavity mode is formed that shows controlled longitudinal acoustic trapping between the two air/water interfaces along with the levitation to the centre of the channel that one would ex10 pec...
