This paper reports slug bubble dynamics on modified surface with two-dimensional graphene film in downward-facing nucleate boiling. Behaviors of slug bubbles were observed with high speed camera, and post-processing was followed to measure departing speed, frequency, and diameter of slug bubbles, which were important to analyze boiling performance change. The graphene-modified surface showed enhanced boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) and critical heat flux (CHF). The effect of surface modification on slug bubble dynamics was quantitatively analyzed; bigger slugs departed from the modified surface with faster speed but same frequency, compared with the bare. It seems that the BHTC enhancement is caused by increase of bubble diameter, resulting in increase of its departing speed. The higher speed of departing bubble could extend the hydrodynamic limit of vapor removal from downward-facing surface, so that CHF performance could be enhanced.

The observations of rapid motion of bubbles under water for approximately 50ms or less in high . magnetic fields of 10 T have been carried out successfully for the first time. The observation system constructed is composed of a high-speed video camera, a telescope, a cryostat with a split-type superconducting magnet, a light source, a mirror and a transparent sample cell. Using this system, the influence of magnetic field on the path and shape of single bubbles of O2(paramagnetism) and N2 (diamagnetism) has been examined carefully. Experimental values describing the path are in good agreement with theoretical values calculated on the basis of the magneto-Archimedes effect, despite the effect of magnetism on the bubble. However, no effect of magnetism on the shape of the bubble is observed In addition, the influence of magnetic field on drag coefficient of the bubble is discussed
