Delay of explosive vaporization in pulsed laser-heated droplets

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Measurements of time delays for explosion of pulsed CO2 laser-heated droplets are presented. A simple model based on classical nucleation theory in superheated liquids, which neglects heat and mass transport, is used to interpret the data. The model shows good agreement with the experimental observations.
