Leidenfrost point is a term concerned with the____________________?
Correct answer: B. Boiling of a liquid on a hot surface
- A. Condensation of the saturated vapor on a cold surface
- B. Boiling of a liquid on a hot surface
- C. Heat transfer between two highly viscous liquids
- D. Concentration of a corrosive solution by evaporation
Explanation
The Leidenfrost point is the surface temperature above which a stable vapour film forms between a hot surface and a boiling liquid. It is therefore associated with boiling on a hot surface.
