Resumen:
An experiment performed in a small horizontal heater immersed in refrigerant FC-72 is presented. The spatial distribution of the vapor is measured using a hot wire anemometer located over the heater, for different heat power inputs. The experimental data are analyzed using a probabilistic model to obtain information about the void fraction, bubble size and vapor velocity. A theoretical model based in conservation equations is derived which accounts for a comprehensive description of the experimental results. Moreover, a unified explanation of the interrelation between the mechanisms of nucleate boiling and boiling crisis is concluded.
