ACTION OF VIBRATIONS ON HEAT
AND MASS TRANSFER IN BOILING

UDC 539.24

The state of the art of the works known in the literature 
and concerned with the influence of vibrations of structures of plants 
and artificially initiated vibrations in working liquids on the processes 
involving boiling is analyzed. The authors discuss theoretical and 
experimental results on the influence of frequencies and amplitudes 
on the internal characteristics of boiling, namely, the initiation 
of a vapor phase, the superheat in boiling, the growth and separation 
of vapor bubbles and the frequency of their occurrence, the density 
of nucleation sites, and also on the value of the heat fluxes and 
on the heat-transfer coefficient. Application of vibrational actions 
for intensification of heat- and mass-transfer processes is shown 
to be promising.
