title: Visualization of droplet boiling on heated transparent solid surfaces with various thermal properties.
abstract: The purpose of the research described in this paper is to elucidate the phenomenon of miniaturization boiling, which involves the scatter of a large number of minute liquid particles from a droplet surface to the atmosphere when the droplet impinges on a solid heating surface. This behavior was photographed from the underside of the heating surface, with special attention to the liquid-solid contact. Transparent solid surfaces with various thermal properties included sapphire, glass with indium tin oxide coating, quartz, and quartz with chromium coating.
