Boiling
Boiling is the convective heat
transfer process that involves a phase change from
liquid to vapor state. This is possible only when
temperature of surface exceeds the saturation
temperature corresponding to the liquid pressure.

entirety.
Boiling takes place very quickly and
swiftly too. On the other hand
evaporation takes place slowly and
gradually.
Evaporation is a gradual
vaporization of a liquid on the
surface whereas boiling is a rapid

Classificatio
n of Boiling

On the basis of presence of bulk fluid motion:

1. Pool Boiling: It occurs in steam boilers involving
natural
convection.

2. Forced convection Boiling: It occurs in water tube

boilers
Involving forced
convection

 On the basis of presence of bulk

liquid temperature:
1.Sub cooled Boiling: Liquid
temperature is below the
saturation
temperature and
bubbles are
formed in the vicinity
of heat surface.

Boiling
Material, shape and condition of heating
surface
Liquid properties
Pressure
Mechanical Agitation and Stirring

Applications of boiling
Steam production in steam and nuclear
power plants.
Heat absorption in refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.
Distillation and refining of liquids.
Concentration, dehydration and drying of
food and materials.
Cooling machine like nuclear reactors and
rocket motors where the large quantities
of heat are released in relatively small
