Boiling
From Thermal-FluidsPedia
When a solid surface is immersed in liquid and the solid surface temperature, Tw, exceeds the saturation temperature, Tsat, for the liquid at that pressure, vapor bubbles can form, grow, and detach from the solid surface. This phase change process is called boiling, and the energy transport involved is classified as convective heat transfer with phase change.
