← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from exceeding the Leidenfrost effect temperature during quenching?
A)Slower than predicted cooling occurs✓
B)Martensite formation becomes thermodynamically favourable
C)Nucleate boiling collapses on the surface
D)Maximum heat flux is rapidly achieved
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the Leidenfrost point enters film boiling, therefore decreasing heat transfer because a vapor layer acts as an insulator; consequently, the cooling rate plateaus, rather than alternatives that exhibit optimal heat transfer and do not experience this insulating layer.
