Abstract
A characteristic length scale and a time scale are proposed to describe the
dynamic growth and departure process of bubbles. A correlation between bub
ble departure diameter and bubble growth time is established thereby, and a
predication formula for bubble departure diameter is suggested by consider
ing the analogue between nucleate boiling and forced convection. (C) 1999 P
