We first examine the practice of describing large droplets as cylindrical and small droplets as almost spherical, by solving the younglaplace equation. The leidenfrost effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquids boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly. What happened in the video above is that there is a formation of an insulating gas barrier between the liquid nitrogen and the relatively hot hand. Leidenfrost tested this with different liquids, finding that when the hot surface was significantly above the boiling temperature of the liquid, the liquid in direct contact with the surface formed a cushion of steam, holding the rest of the liquid away from direct contact with. According to the idea that stuff on a hot surface boils away fast. The effect leidenfrost described is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than its boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly.

You all must have seen how water drop runs over the hot pan tawa what we call in hindi, when a dosa maker throws water over it. The leidenfrost effect says that when the temperature of the pan gets hotter than the boiling point of water, as the water droplets hit the surface, the bottom of the droplet vaporizes so quickly that the vapor insulates the rest of the droplet and makes it float on the hot surface of the pan. The liquid in immediate contact with the heat vaporizes, and the vapor creates an insulating layer that slows the rate of evaporation and boiling, allowing the remaining liquid to hover. A classic example can be seen in the kitchen, where a cook might flick droplets of water. Granular material is vertically vibrated in a 2d container.
