Résumé

In this paper an overview of the boiling process including recent advances made towards a mechanistic understanding of nucleate and transition boiling is presented. Out of necessity, the review does not include boiling on enhanced surfaces or boiling of mixtures. Discussion of film boiling is also not included, as it is the subject of another review article. Only pool and external flow boiling of ordinary liquids are discussed. A few comments are made with respect to the theoretical and experimental studies that should be made in the future to further our understanding of the boiling process.
