Leydenfrost Phenomenon, 4B50.30

Topic and Concept:

Location:

LeydenfrostPhenomenon01-400.jpg

Abstract:

Drop water on a hot plate and liquid nitrogen on the lecture table.

Equipment

Location

ID Number

Dropper

TD, Bay B1, Shelf #2??

0.5 L liquid nitrogen

TD, Bay B1, Shelf #2??

Hotplate

TD, Bay A5, Shelf #2??

250 mL beaker of water

Above the sink in the lecture demo room

Important Setup Notes:

  • This demonstration requires about 250 mL - 500 mL of liquid nitrogen.

Setup and Procedure:

  1. Plug in the hotplate and turn in on. It takes a few minutes to heat up.
  2. Using the dropper, drop several drops on the hotplate.
  3. Pour the liquid nitrogen on the table top and compare the behavior of the two fluids.

Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:

  • Exercise caution throughout this demonstration. The hotplate can cause BURNS, and the liquid nitrogen can cause SEVERE FROSTBITE!

Discussion:

When our two liquids come into thermal contact with surfaces at temperatures significantly higher than the boiling point of the liquid, we notice that little droplets form. These droplets seem to skid across the surface. When the liquid comes into contact with the surface, some heat is transferred from the surface to the bottommost portion of the droplets. This causes this portion of the drop to transition to a gas forming a boundary between the surface and remaining liquid. The gas is much closer in temperature to the boiling point of the liquid causing the liquid to boil off significantly slower than if it was constantly in contact with the surface. In essence, this is the Leydenfrost phenomenon in action.
