Which consequence results when rapid heating exceeds the Leidenfrost temperature?

💡 Explanation

Reduced heat flux occurs via film boiling because exceeding the Leidenfrost point causes immediate vaporisation, creating an insulating layer. The mechanism is rapid phase transition; therefore heat transfer degrades, drastically reducing flux, rather than enhancing convection.
