The main mechanism of nucleate boiling

It is shown that intense evaporation of liquid over the boundaries of dry spots (nucleation sites) is the governing mechanism of nucleate boiling that differentiates it from any type of single-phase convective heat transfer and is a factor explaining why heat transfer during nucleate boiling is extremely intense in the region of high reduced pressures. A calculation equation for heat transfer is substantiated.
