The effect of surface superheat and cavity size on frequency of bubble departure in nucleate pool boiling with artificial nucleation sites was studied by using laser fiber probe. The experiments were carried out with water
ethanol and n-propanol under atmospheric pressure. The cavity size ranged from 0.15 to 0.30mm. The experimental data were correlated and the following dimensionless equation was obtained: A mathematical model predicting the frequency of bubble departure was presented. The predictod results obtained from the proposed model agreed satisfactorily with experimental data.
