← ScienceWhich mechanism dominates heat transfer when water boils?
A)Latent vaporization absorbs significant energy✓
B)Conduction through laminar boundary layer
C)Radiative emission increases drastically
D)Sensible heating dominates system enthalpy
💡 Explanation
Latent heat of vaporization dominates because the water absorbs considerable energy without raising the temperature. Therefore, boiling depends on phase transition enthalpy rather than conductive heating dominating because of limited thermal transfer efficiency.
