Experimental schemes that enable characterization of phase-change phenomena in the micro scale regime is essential for understanding the phase-change kinetics. Particularly, monitoring rapid vaporization on a submicron length scale is an important yet challenging task in a variety of laser-processing applications, including steam laser cleaning and liquid-assisted material ablation. This paper introduces a novel technique based on Michelson interferometry for probing the liquid-vaporization process on a solid surface heated by a KrF excimer laser pulse (${\lambda}=248nm,\;FWHM=24\;ns$) in water. The effective thickness of a microbubble layer has been measured with nanosecond time resolution. The maximum bubble size and growth rate are estimated to be of the order of $0.1{\mu}m\;and\;1\;m/s$, respectively. The results show that the acoustic enhancement in the laser induced vaporization process is caused by bubble expansion in the initial growth stage, not by bubble collapse. This work demonstrates that the interference method is effective for detecting bubble nucleation and microscale vaporization kinetics.

The effective thickness of a microbubble layer has been measured with nanosecond time resolution. The maximum bubble size and growth rate are estimated to be of the order of 0.1㎛ and 1m/s, respectively. The results show that the acoustic enhancement in the laser induced vaporization process is caused by bubble expansion in the initial growth stage, not by bubble collapse. This work demonstrates that the interference method is effective for detecting bubble nucleation and microscale vaporization kinetics.

Component-scale modeling of boiling is predominantly based on the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid approach. Within this framework, wall boiling is accounted for via the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) model and, within this model, the bubble is characterized using three main parameters: departure diameter (D), nucleation site density (N), and departure frequency (f). Typically, the magnitudes of these three parameters are obtained from empirical correlations. However, in recent years, efforts have been directed toward mechanistic modeling of the boiling process. Of the three parameters mentioned above, the departure diameter (D) is least affected by the intrinsic uncertainties of the nucleate boiling process. This feature, along with its prominence within the RPI boiling model, has made it the primary candidate for mechanistic modeling ventures. Mechanistic modeling of D is mostly carried out through solving of force balance equations on the bubble. Forces incorporated in these equations are formulated as functions of the radius of the bubble and have been developed for, and applied to, low-pressure conditions only. Conversely, for high-pressure conditions, no mechanistic information is available regarding the growth rates of bubbles and the forces acting on them. In this study, we use direct numerical simulation coupled with an interface tracking method to simulate bubble growth under high (up to 45 bar) pressure, to obtain the kind of mechanistic information required for an RPI-type approach. In this study, we compare the resulting bubble growth rate curves with predictions made with existing experimental data.

임계열속을 예측하는 기존의 여러 방법중 임계열속 발생 역학구조에 근거한 이론적 접근 방법은 여러 유동형태(Flow pattern)별로 연구되고 있으며, 대표적으로 환상유동에서의 LFD(Liquid Film Dryout) 이론, 기포류에서의 BBLD(Bubble Boundary Layer Dryout) 흑은 LNID(Local Nucleation Initiated Dryout)이론 등이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 원자로 조건에 서 적용될 수 있는 LFD이론과 BBLD 이론에 대하여 대표적인 모델들을 소개하고 특성을 검토하였다. 특히 BBLD 이론중에서 기포군집 (Bubble coalescence) 모델과 층류막 드라이 아웃(Sublayer dryout) 모델에 대해서는 원형관에서의 임계열속 시험자료를 사용하여 각 모델의 예측 성능 및 특성을 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 기포군집 모형인 Weisman 모델의 예측성능이 가장 우수했으며 아울러 층류막 드라이아웃 모델인 Katto 모델과 Mudawwar 모델은 구성 인자중 기포군속도와 층류막 두께와의 관계가 보다 정확히 모형화되야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this work is to measure space and time resolved wall heat fluxes during nucleate pool boiling of R113/R11 mixtures using a microscale heater array in conjunction with a high speed CCD. The microscale heater array is constructed using VLSI techniques, and consists of 96 serpentine platinum resistance heaters on a transparent quartz substrate. Electronic feedback circuits are used to keep the temperature of each heater at a specified temperature and the variation in heating power required to keep the temperature constant is measured. Heat flux data around an isolated bubble are obtained with triggered CCD images. CCD images are obtained at a rate of 1000frames/second. The heat transfer variation vs. time on the heaters directly around the nucleation site is plotted and correlated with images of the bubble obtainedby using the high speed CCD. For both of the mixture(R11/R113) and pure system(pure R11, pure R113), the wall heat fluxes are presented and compared to find out the qualitative difference between pure and binary mixture nucleate boiling.

When carbon dioxide in a liquid becomes supersaturated, carbon dioxide gas bubbles are generated in the liquid, and they ascend to the surface as they develop further. At this time, the inner wall of the cup with carbon gas attached is known as the entrapped gas cavity (EGS); once an EGS is established, it does not disappear and will continuously create carbon bubbles. This bubbling phenomenon can be activated or suppressed by changing the properties of the solid surface in contact with the carbonated liquid. In this study, the foaming of carbonated liquid is promoted or suppressed by modifying the wettability of the surface. A micro/nano surface structure is formed on the surface of an aluminum cup to produce a superhydrophilic surface, and a superhydrophobic surface similar to a lotus leaf is synthesized via fluorination. Experiment results show that the amount of carbon dioxide bubble generated differs significantly in the first few seconds depending on the surface, and that the amount of gas generated after it enters the stabilization period is the same regardless of the wettability of the cup surface.

This paper describes an experimental investigation which has been carried out with distilled water with the range of heat flux and pressure covering 7,400-28,000kcal/$m^2/h$ and 0.42-1.0332kg/$cm^{2}abs$, respectively. In this experiment, Nickel coated mirror surface heater of 5 cm O.D. was used as a heating source. The conclusions summerized as follows;1. The useful correlation of the test data for the heat transfer coefficient is presented as a function of the pressure. $$a/a_{s}=c{\times}p\;0.18$$ where a is the heat transfer coefficient and $a_s$ is the heat transfer coefficient at atmospheric pressure and p is the pressure, C is constant. 2. The bubble diameter near the heating surface and rising velocity increased with the heat flux. 3. A decrease in pressure results in the decrease of the number of nucleation sites and the increase of the bubble volume. 4. Bubble rising velocity differences are incrased maximumly up to $200\%$ of that at atmopheric pressure.

Micropump is very useful component in micro/nano fluidics and bioMEMS applications. In this study, a bubble-powered micropump was fabricated and tested. The micropump consists of two-parallel micro line heaters, a pair of nozzle-diffuser flow controller and a 1 mm in diameter, 400 ${\mu}m$ in depth pumping chamber. The two-parallel micro line heaters with 20 ${\mu}m-width$ and 200 ${\mu}m-length$ were fabricated to be embedded in the silicon dioxide layer of a wafer which serves as a base plate for the micropump. The pumping chamber, the pair of nozzle-diffuser unit and microchannels including the liquid inlet and outlet port were fabricated by etching through another silicon wafer. A glass wafer (thickness of $525{\pm}15$ ${\mu}m$) having two holes of inlet and outlet ports of liquid serve as upper plate of the pump. Finally the silicon wafer of the base plate, the silicon wafer of pumping chamber and the glass wafer were aligned and bonded (Si-Si bonding and anodic bonding). A sequential photograph of bubble nucleation, growth and collapse was visualized by CCD camera. Clearly liquid flow through the nozzle during the period of bubble growth and slight back flow of liquid at the end of collapsing period can be seen. The mass flow rate was found to be dependent on the duty ratio and the operation frequency. As duty ratio increases, flow rate decreases gradually when the duty ratio exceeds 60%. Also as the operation frequency increases, the flow rate of the micropump decreases slightly.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 저압에서의 과냉각 비등 현상에 대한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 과냉각 비등 현상을 시뮬레이션하기 위해서 벽비등 모델을 사용하였으며, 벽비등 모델은 기포 이탈 직경, 핵 사이트 밀도 그리고 기포 이탈 빈도로 구성된 하위모델을 필요로 한다. 전산유체역학 코드 CFX는 실험 자료에 근거한 기본 모델을 제공한다. 하지만 이러한 모델은 대부분 고압조건에서 개발되었기 때문에 저압조건에서는 잘 맞지 않는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저압조건에서 과냉각 비등 현상에 대해서 CFD의 유효성을 검토하였다. 수치해석적 결과는 기존의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 수치해석은 질량유속 $250{\sim}750kg/m^2s$, 열유속 $0.37{\sim}0.77MW/m^2$ 그리고 출구압력 0.11 MPa범위에서 수행되었다. 저압조건에서 개발된 상관식을 적용함으로써 수치해석의 정확성을 높일 수 있었다.
