TY - JOUR TI - Capillary-porous heat exchangers for cooling of melting units AU - Genbach Alexander A AU - Jamankulova Nellya O AU - Bakić Vukman V JN - Thermal Science PY - 2018 VL - 22 IS - 15 SP - 1359 EP - 1369 PT - Article AB - The model of development of a vapor phase in porous structures of heat exchangers for cooling of melting units on the basis of cinema observations which ex-plains the mechanism of nucleation, development, and death of steam bubbles is created. In case of crisis of heat exchange, there are the limiting conditions of a surface of a porous coating and metal substrate. The process of destroying can come from melting, or from heat stresses of compression and stretching. The reliability of a cooling system of melting units is defined by the combined action of capillary and mass forces.
