Summary: The problem of thermal growth of a vapor bubble moving in a superheated liquid is solved for two models of the phase interface, namely: a “rigid” (no-slip condition) and a “pliable” (slip condition) spherical surface. The second self-similar solution of the problem of the motion of a vapor bubble with a pliable surface is found. On the basis of this solution, an approximate dependence of the nondimensional heat flux into the bubble on the Jacob and Péclet numbers is constructed. For two limiting cases, namely, for a bubble growing at rest and a moving bubble of constant radius, this dependence coincides with the known solutions. The calculation results are compared with the experimental data obtained for vapor bubbles rising in a superheated liquid.
