Macrolayer consumption model

Macrolayer consumption model. Here it is postulated that the macrolayer formed under the vapor mushrooms in fully developed boiling (see Fig. 15.48) is totally evaporated in the time between the release of the mushroom-shaped bubbles. 

Macrolayer Consumption Model. Although the hydrodynamic instability model agrees well with much of the experimental data, the very extensive photographic studies that have been conducted on boiling (exemplified by those sketched in Fig. 15.48) indicate a quite different pattern of behavior as the critical heat flux is approached. Thus, vapor mushrooms are...
