← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid heating exceeds the Leidenfrost temperature?
A)Nucleate boiling efficiency drastically increases
B)Film boiling heat flux rapidly decreases✓
C)Convective heat transfer intensifies linearly
D)Thermal conduction dominates energy transfer
💡 Explanation
Reduced heat flux occurs via film boiling because exceeding the Leidenfrost point causes immediate vaporisation, creating an insulating layer. The mechanism is rapid phase transition; therefore heat transfer degrades, drastically reducing flux, rather than enhancing convection.
