In this work initial results are presented on the theoretical modelling of the following aspects related to microgravity boiling: the rate of phase change at moving interfaces, the thermocapillary effect at the phase separating boundary, the influence of thermal effects on the Rayleigh - Taylor instability of a heated static vapor layer below its liquid and the formation of the liquid macrolayer beneath vapour bubbles.
