Experimental Setup for Studying the Chain Activation of Low-Temperature Boiling Sites in Superheated Liquid Droplets

An experimental setup for the realization of chain activation of the boiling sites in superheated liquid droplets is described. Previously, this phenomenon was observed only in experiments on heat transfer upon the boiling of emulsions containing low-boiling dispersed phases. The data obtained are discussed in terms of a previously proposed model, in which the boiling sites are the flocs that are composed of several colloidal-size particles and adsorb the gas dissolved in the liquid.
