Bubble Dynamics and Boiling Phenomena in Liquid Hydrogen
The project explores the physics and heat transfer phenomena in bubble dynamics and in the characteristics of nucleate pool boiling in liquid hydrogen (LH2) for applications in energy storage and transfer technology. Building on existing knowledge of bubble departure characteristics and heat transfer aspects of the cryogenic liquid, as well as research into the boiling of water, the project seeks to further characterize the boiling curve of liquid hydrogen as well as develop working models for observing bubble growth and the effect of different surface morphologies on boiling.
