Abstract
The growth mechanism of a vapor bubble nucleus in an excess superheated liquid is investigated theoretically. The equations of motion proposed in this paper are given by the coupled ordinary equations, which are expressed by the relation among pressure, volume and fractal dimension as a function of time. The velocity of molecule in the bubble within a superheated liquid, the pressure in a nucleus follows from the instantaneous molecule collisions with its boundary.
