← ScienceWhich outcome commonly results when frost forms rapidly on cryogenic equipment?
A)Reduced thermal insulation efficiency✓
B)Increased convective heat transfer
C)Elevated radiative energy absorption
D)Maximized latent heat capacity
💡 Explanation
Frost dramatically increases thermal conductivity because water vapor undergoes deposition; therefore, insulation fails, rather than a heat transfer increase, and the phase transition of water releases latent heat, worsening the problem under humid conditions.
