Formation rate of vapor bubbles in magnetic fluid boiling at a single vaporization center: Measuring technique and experimental setup

A technique for measuring the bubbling rate during magnetic fluid boiling at a single vaporization center in an external uniform magnetic field is suggested and proved, and an experimental setup is designed based on this technique. It is shown that the magnetic field substantially influences the rate of detachment of the bubbles in a wide range of temperatures below the saturation temperature. The diameter of the vapor bubble at which it separates in the magnetic field (separation diameter) is estimated.
