Statistical Characteristics of Ebullition of Single Superheated Drops in an Immiscible Liquid Medium

抄録

The statistical characteristics of ebullition of single superheated water drops in liquid paraffin were studied. The ebullition rate was found to be nearly proportional to the initial surface area of a drop and to increase with the rate of the temperature rise. It was also shown for the case of the temperature increasing monotonically with time that this statistical event is well arranged by the probability density for the temperature at the time when ebullition takes place. The qualitative interpretations of above results were presented.
