Sinopsis

The bubble nucleation characteristics of surfaces were investigated by a pressure-reduction technique. Nucleation on clean metal surfaces was found to be irreproducible but on PTFE-coated surfaces nucleation was highly reproducible. The implications of this for boiling are discussed briefly.
