Abstract

A study is made of the radial motion of a vapor envelope surrounding an isolated spherical particle in an unbounded mass of liquid. It is assumed that the liquid is viscous and incompressible and that the temperature is distributed uniformly in the solid particle. A model of a calorifically perfect gas is used for the vapor phase. The same assumptions are made as in Rayleigh's formulation for the problem of the dynamics of a single bubble: that the process is spherically symmetric and that the pressure P2 (t) in the vapor phase is homogeneous. The justification for making these assumptions in problems of the dynamics of gas, vapor, and vaporgas bubbles is discussed in [1–5]. In this paper, the collapse of the vapor layer and the boiling of the liquid on the surface of the heated particle are not considered.
