Boiling of milk in an open vessel is an example of ______________ boiling?

Correct answer: A. Film

  • A. Film
  • B. Sub-cooled
  • C. Saturated nucleate
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Milk develops a protein- and fat-rich surface film during heating, which inhibits heat transfer and produces the characteristic film-boiling behaviour and boil-over. It is therefore classified here as film boiling rather than ordinary saturated nucleate boiling.
