Abstract
A designer needs to predict the range of operating parameter within which two-phase heat exchange devices may be operated without encountering instability phenomenon and their fatal consequences. Researchers and scientists have reported their observations through simultaneous measurement and flow visualization techniques. Their suggestions regarding onset of flow instabilities are presented in this section.
