Onset of Nucleate Boiling in Conventional Size Channels where / = 2Tw/(pt/ ), tw is the wall shear stress. 

The concepts of boiling in micro-channels and comparison to conventional size channels are considered in Chap. 6. The mechanism of the onset of nucleate boiling is treated. Specific problems such as explosive boiling in parallel micro-channels, drag reduction and heat transfer in surfactant solutions are also considered.
