Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to study the mechanisms of boiling heat transfer in microgravity conditions. The RUBI (Reference mUltiscale Boiling Investigation) is an experiment where the basic phenomena of boiling heat transfer processes on a heated surface are investigated on the ISS (International Space Station). The special focus is paid to the coupling of macroscopic bubble dynamics from nucleation, growth and detachment combined with the microscopic phenomena in the thin films and micro layers on the heater, underneath the boiling bubbles. The image treatment program has been developed in order to extract the bubble volume as well as the contact angle from the experimental images. The first data of the bubble growth dynamics have been obtained and analysed.
