Observation of heat transfer mechanisms in saturated pool boiling of water by high-speed infrared thermometry

•The wall temperature distribution in pool saturated boiling of water was measured at 3,000 fps using a high-speed infrared camera.•The contribution of microlayer evaporation to bubble growth was found to be around 50% for isolated bubbles.•Interaction between bubbles greatly enhanced convective hea...
