Aj. Addlesee et K. Cornwell, LIQUID-FILM THICKNESS ABOVE A BUBBLE RISING UNDER AN INCLINED PLATE, Chemical engineering research & design, 75(A7), 1997, pp. 663-667
Following a review of the significance of sliding bubble effects in bo
iling heat transfer, an analytic model is described which allows the t
hickness of the liquid film between a bubble and a wall to be estimate
d. Experiments using an optical technique of film thickness measuremen
t are described and the results compared with predictions obtained fro
m the model.
