  • This week Reactions is all about the chemistry and science of the Leidenfrost Effect. Have you ever seen a drop of water navigate a maze? It’s possible thanks to a weird phenomenon called the Leidenfrost Effect. Understanding Leidenfrost - first described more than 200 years ago - helped engineers make more efficient steam engines. Today, scientists are using high-speed cameras to work out how super hot water behaves on metal surfaces. These little levitating water droplets are a big deal -- this could also help prevent future nuclear disasters.

    I work in a kitchen and whenever I'm cleaning the hot plate with a cleaning stone I'll wash it off first so it cleaners better. Then I have to leave it to dry for a few minutes on the hot plate because the leidenfrost effect happens with it and levitataes it slightly meaning it just slides around like its on ice.

    but. why? i've been trying to find an explanation for that propulsión in the internet and nobody seems to care. it's because radiation's "form factor" is grater for one side more than the other? is it because for some reason the steam flows in the drop moving direction draging it with it? and if so, why does the steam flows that way? i won´t pay to read a scientific papper on the subject. can somebody help me?

      @qualicumwilson5168 3 роки тому

      The Leidenfrost effect, because the water is "lifted" by the steam, isolates the cooling water which limits the waters cooling effect. Less cooling equal higher heat equal Fukushima (or Chernobyl for us dinosaurs). OR, No Leidenfrost equal greater cooling by water equals better outcome.

      Depends on your preference, if you're into anime that is rooted in reality with a protagonist that is leaning towards making the best of the current situation instead of having plot armor and/or deus ex machina out of a situation, then you'll enjoy the first season of it.
