Ve. Vinogradov et Pa. Pavlov, The boundary of limiting superheats of n-heptane, ethanol, benzene, and toluene in the region of negative pressures, HIGH TEMP, 38(3), 2000, pp. 379-383
The boiling of superheated n-heptane, ethanol, benzene, and toluene is expe
rimentally investigated in a negative-pressure wave with an amplitude of up
to -15 MPa. The continuous transition is traced of the line of achievable
superheats of investigated liquids from the positive to negative region of
pressures. The experimental results are compared with the predictions made
according to the homogeneous nucleation theory. The reasons for the discrep
ancy between the experimental results and those calculated under high negat
ive pressures are discussed.
