Sound Increases the Efficiency of Boiling

Posted by timothy on from the centerfold-for-the-journal-of-boiling-research dept.

hessian writes "Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology achieved a 17-percent increase in boiling efficiency by using an acoustic field to enhance heat transfer. The acoustic field does this by efficiently removing vapor bubbles from the heated surface and suppressing the formation of an insulating vapor film."

    Just last night we had a nice dinner with my friend. Boiled some bacons, sausages, chicken and bull's balls at the local restaurant. They bring the boiling plate to your table. It is a nice and social thing and you can have a chat while your food is boiling (and take a few beers).
