In the work, a model of explosive boiling of a single droplet was proposed, which is based on the classical nucleation theory. A criterion is proposed for estimation the droplet’s lifetime. Calculations were made for droplets of liquid oxygen in saturated vapor. Analysis is made for influence of the initial temperature and droplet size on its lifetime.
