CONTAINING WET VAPOR IN HYDROPHOBIC LIQUID

The process of collapse of a bubble containing wet vapor 
in hydrophobic liquid in the presence of volumetric condensation and 
external heat transfer is considered. It is shown that external heat 
transfer can substantially affect the dynamics of the process and 
damp a shock increase of pressure greatly.
