What is Spherical Phase Growth in Superheated Liquids about?

The growth of vapor bubbles in a superheated liquid has been treated as a series of rate phenomena governed by an equation of continuity for the vapor, the Knudsen equation for interfacial evaporation, the modified Rayleigh equation describing the radial hydrodynamic behavior and a heat diffusion equation representing the temperature distribution in the liquid-these transport equations have been converted into a coupled set of nonlinear integral equations which have been solved numerically on a high-speed digital computer to generate bubble growth curves starting with a nucleus containing saturated vapor. In the period 10-10-10-6 set the vapor bubble does not grow significantly but surface evaporation and heat transfer at the bubble wall cause the vapor pressure and temperature to build up internally until in the region 1O-6 to nearly 10-5 set the radius begins to increase slowly, the rate of increase being retarded by surface tension and liquid inertial forces described by the hydrodynamic equation. At 1O-s-1O-3 set the bubble size increases quite rapidly, the rate determining processes being the combined effects of liquid inertia and heat transfer at the interface. The liquid ine
