Notes:
An hypothesis is proposed to explain the origin of short-lived sites observed in nucleate pool boiling. Conditions are postulated under which microbubbles might circulate into the superheated liquid region and serve as the source of these nucleation sites. Consequences of this possible mechanism are examined for explanations of hysteresis effects and scatter of results in boiling research.
