Abstract
It is shown that the influence of an electrostatic field on the nucleate boiling of ``Freon‐113'' is such that bubbles are reduced in size and, more notably, are attracted to the anode of the field. In addition, both alternating and static electric fields produce a pronounced improvement in the peak heat flux of nucleate boiling. Experimental results and photographs are offered as substantiating evidence of these effects and are discussed.
