← ScienceWhich effect results when a cryogenic fluid sustains localized heating?
A)Film boiling insulates the surface✓
B)Superfluidity ceases heat transfer
C)Pressure increases above critical value
D)Temperature gradient reduces immediately
💡 Explanation
When a cryogenic fluid's surface significantly exceeds saturation temperature, film boiling insulates the device, because this process encourages vapor formation, therefore, hindering heat exchange rather than improving it through conduction.
