← ScienceWhich outcome results from exceeding water's Leidenfrost point?
A)Vapor layer inhibits heat transfer✓
B)Nucleate boiling causes rapid vaporization
C)Critical heat flux induces burnout
D)Film boiling directly contacts substrate
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the Leidenfrost point results in a vapor layer because rapid vaporization via film boiling insulates the water droplet. The Leidenfrost effect reduces thermal conduction rather than explosive nucleate boiling; therefore the vapor slows heat transfer, rather than promotes it.
