Abstract
An experiment is described in which the growth of vapor bubbles at a surface is followed in detail. Growth curves are obtained and shown to agree, within experimental error, with current theories of growth under idealized conditions, provided an average superheat present at the initiation of growth is used in the calculation. A criterion is proposed to permit an estimate of a delay time for vapor formation. The estimated delays are found to be in qualitative agreement with those measured.
