← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid vaporization causes the superheated fluid to locally collapse?
A)Nucleate boiling heat transfer diminishes
B)Film boiling heat transfer intensifies✓
C)Critical heat flux threshold elevates
D)Conduction through laminar layer increases
💡 Explanation
A vapor explosion happens because spontaneous nucleation leads to film boiling; this enwraps the surface, insulating it with vapor, therefore, intensifies film boiling heat transfer rather than fostering efficient nucleate boiling because of increased fluid-solid contact.
