Insulating materials reduce heat fluxes. As the thickness of insulating material increases, the thermal resistance increases. However, adding layers of insulation to curved surfaces, such as cylinders and spheres, increases the surface area for convection. This may actually increase the heat transfer.

The apparatus is used to determine critical radius for insulated cylinders by determining heat transfer coefficient and the thermal conductivity of the insulation.

Critical heat flux describes the thermal limit of a phenomenon where a phase change occurs during heating which suddenly decreases the efficiency of heat transfer. The understanding of CHF phenomenon is important for safe and economic design of many heat transfer units including nuclear reactors, fossil fuel boilers, fusion reactors, electronic chips, etc.

The experiment is designed to illustrate the characteristics of the boiling phase change phenomenon. It involves observing the rate of boiling of a saturated liquid on the surface of a submerged hot wire object and measuring the variation of the object temperature with time.

The objective of this experiment is to observe the regimes of nucleate, transition, and film boiling in a pool of saturated liquid, to determine the rate of boiling, and to construct the boiling curve.
