On the form of interfacial surface at evaporation front propagation along the heater in the layer of metastable liquid

Abstract

Within the framework of approximate physical and mathematical model, we considered the stationary problem of propagation of evaporation front in superheated liquid along the flat heater. The analytical dependence of the vapor layer thickness on the coordinate and physical parameters has been obtained. The solution is presented in invariant dimensionless form. Satisfactory agreement between theoretical results and new experimental data is shown.
