  2. Leidenfrost effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Leidenfrost droplet Demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect Leidenfrost effect of a single drop of water. The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.

  3. Nucleate boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleate_boiling

    This is the critical heat flux. At this point in the maximum, considerable vapor is being formed, making it difficult for the liquid to continuously wet the surface to receive heat from the surface. This causes the heat flux to reduce after this point. At extremes, film boiling commonly known as the Leidenfrost effect is observed.

  4. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    Liquid nitrogen's efficiency as a coolant is limited by the fact that it boils immediately on contact with a warmer object, enveloping the object in an insulating layer of nitrogen gas bubbles. This effect, known as the Leidenfrost effect, occurs when any liquid comes in contact with a surface which is significantly hotter than its boiling point.

  5. Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Gottlob_Leidenfrost

    Leidenfrost droplet. The effect Leidenfrost described is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than its boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly. It is most commonly seen when cooking; one sprinkles drops of water in a skillet to gauge its temperature.

    The monolayers could also be removed with a UV source, decreasing the hydrophobicity. A simple fabrication method could create both microstructure and low surface tension in one step by using octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS). [53] Superhydrophobic surfaces are able to stabilize the Leidenfrost effect by making the vapour
