Abstract
The paper presents the results of the experimental study of the structure of a liquid microlayer at the base of vapor bubbles during water pool boiling using the method of light-emitting diode (LED) interferometry and a transparent design of the heating surface. Microlayer profiles were obtained at different time moments and the effect of heat flux density on its characteristics was analyzed. It is shown that the applied technique with a fairly simple optical scheme allows obtaining of up-to-date information on the structure and dynamics of the microlayer under bubbles during boiling.
