    Abstract This paper reviews recent research on microlayer formed by confined vapor bubbles during boiling in mini/microchannels. Experimental measurements, simulations and theoretical studies are described and compared. As a reference to clarify the mechanism for the formation of a microlayer, Taylor flow (i.e. elongated bubble flow in mini/micro circular tubes under adiabatic conditions and at Re << 1) and elongated bubble flow at high velocity, with consideration of the influence of inertia, are also reviewed. Compared to the steady adiabatic conditions, one of the distinct points for the boiling condition is that the bubble grows exponentially More >
