A phenomenological model is proposed to estimate the initial thickness of the liquid microlayer forming beneath a vapour bubble growing on a solid surface upon nucleate boiling. The model employs an analogy between the microlayer formation and the cl... Read More about Predicting initial microlayer thickness in nucleate boiling using Landau–Levich theory.
