How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A model of dynamics of the vapor bubbles that emerge on solid surfaces of porous structures and the steam generating wall (bottom layer) is presented in this work. The model was filmed and photographed by a high-speed camera SKS-1М. The discharge of high heat flows (up to 2·106 W/m2) was maintained by the joint action of capillary and mass forces with the help of intensifiers. An analytical model was developed based on the theory of thermoelasticity. The limit state of the porous coating with poor thermal conductivity and the metal bottom layer was determined. Heat flows were calculated from the spontaneous birth of the vapour nucleus (10–8) to the material destruction (102–103 s), thus the interval from the process of relaxation to the maximum process (destruction) was described. The size of the pullout particles determined in the model at the moment of porous coating destruction showed good congruence with the experimental data obtained at the optic stand. The destruction of coating under the compression forces occurs much earlier than the tension forces. It is probable that the destruction will happen under the impact of the compression and shear forces. The intervals of the heat flow when such destruction takes place are different for quartz and granite coating. Each thickness of the pullout particles under the impact of compression forces has its limit values of the heat flows, which are located within the mentioned intervals. As the specific heat flow in the heated layer increases and, therefore, the heating time decreases, the impact of the compression stresses increases as well. Despite the high resistance to compression, destruction from the compressive heat tension occurs in more favorable conditions immediately, and in diminutive volumes. Experimental testing units, test conditions, the outcome of the heat exchange crisis, the limit state of the surface and the calculation of critical heat flows are presented. The capillary porous system that works under the joint action of capillary and mass forces is studied. The system has advantages compared to pool boiling, thin-film evaporators and heat pipes.
