At similar standard atmospheric pressure and "'high temperatures "', the hydrodynamically-quieter regime of film boiling is reached.

While the Leidenfrost temperature is not directly related to the surface tension of the fluid, it is indirectly dependent on it through the film boiling temperature.
13.
The common failure process of fuel in the water-cooled reactors is a transition to film boiling and subsequent ignition of zirconium cladding in the steam.

Contributions of Prof . Biswas pertaining to handling free surface flows and some of his investigations related to prediction of bubble growth in film boiling are considered to be path breaking.
15.
If a surface heating the liquid is significantly hotter than the liquid then film boiling will occur, where a thin layer of vapor, which has low thermal conductivity, insulates the surface.
16.
Since the Leidenfrost phenomenon is a special case of film boiling, the Leidenfrost temperature is related to the minimum film boiling temperature via a relation which factors in the properties of the solid being used.

18.
During film boiling a volume of insulating vapor separates the heated surface from the cooling fluid; this causes the temperature of the heated surface to increase drastically to once again reach equilibrium heat transfer with the cooling fluid.
19.
Typical SLMCPR / MCPRSL ( Safety Limit MCPR ) licensing limit for a BWR core is substantiated by a calculation that proves that 99.9 % of fuel rods in a BWR core will not enter the transition to film boiling during normal operation or anticipated operational occurrences.
