Abstract A summary of recent research on flow boiling in micro-channels is provided in this article. This review aims to survey and identify new findings
arising in this important area, which may contribute to optimum design and process control of high performance miniature devices comprising
extremely small channels. Several criteria for defining a micro-channel are presented at first and the recent works on micro-scale flow boiling are
subsequently described into two parts including flow visualization and two-phase heat transfer. The results obtained from a number of p revious
studies show that the flow behaviours and heat transfer mechanisms in micro-channels deviate… More >
