Leidenfrost Effect (Dancing bubbles), Formula 1 Car Aerodynamic Simulation, Videos of Bubble Motion during Boiling

Location

James E. Gleason Hall (GLE/009) - Classroom/Lab

1. An experimental demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect makes a water droplet levitate on a heated surface like a hot plate. The experiment is shielded with a clear acrylic screen to ensure audience safety. Answer questions about why the bubble levitates and does not evaporate on the heated surface. 2. The simulation shows the aerodynamic effects of an increase in velocity on the lift force for a Formula 1 car. Learn about the impact of Formula 1 car design on the overall performance during a race. 3. The high-speed videos compare chaotic vapor bubbles in boiling heat transfer to organized vapor bubbles moving through separate liquid vapor pathways.
