ABSTRACT = {Two-phase pressure drop during flow boiling has been studied for several decades. Obviously, the publications available on micro-channels are 
relatively small compared with those for ordinarily sized channels. Although the use of micro-channels yields several advantages, the pressure 
drop taking p lace in these extremely small channels is higher than that in the ordinarily sized channels because of the increased wall friction. The 
knowledge of the two-phase pressure drop characteristics in addition to heat transfer phenomena is essential to the design and evaluation of the 
micro-systems. In this paper, recent research on the flow boiling pressure drop in micro-scale channels is reviewed. The experimental results as 
well as the relevant prediction methods based on different researchers are presented.},
