The not-so-subtle flaws of the force balance approach to predict the departure of bubbles in boiling heat transfer

M Bucci, J Buongiorno, M Bucci - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We present a critical evaluation of the force balance approach in predicting the departure of
rapidly growing bubbles from a boiling surface. To this end, we conduct separate effect …
