Literature concerning flow boiling instabilities in microchannels is available through quite a few journal and conference papers. However, these papers are scattered through assorted publication avenues and typically address one or several narrow aspects of flow instabilities. They generally target an audience with an extensive background and prior knowledge of the field. Practitioners who are not experts in flow instabilities and novice researchers to this fascinating field have difficulties comprehending the knowledge communicated in these papers. This book was written to bridge this gap and accelerate the learning process for these individuals.
