Which outcome occurs when water transitions through Leidenfrost effect?

💡 Explanation

Heat evaporates water touching the hot surface, because vaporisation creates an insulating vapor layer, therefore slowing conductance heat transfer rather than increasing it, unlike direct contact scenarios under nucleate boiling with conduction and convection.
