This paper describes some of the results of an experimental study on the cavitation phenomena in He II and He I by the visualization and the measurements of the pressure and the temperature. The cavitation flow is generated in liquid helium driven by a bellows pump in the downstream region of the th

The tendency of turbopumps operating in He II to cavitate makes their use in zero gravity questionable because of the zero net positive suction head (NPSH) available at the pump inlet. We investigated a jet pump, positioned at the inlet of a centrifugal pump with a screw inducer, as a means of opera
The hydraulic characteristics of a variable speed liquid helium centrifugal pump in He I near saturated conditions (4.2 K and ΰ· 100 kPa) are presented. Three different housings are tested, a simple impeller housing and two housings with an impeller with an associated screw inducer, to investigate th
The characteristics of transient heat transfer on horizontal cylinders in He I and He II caused by various large stepwise heat inputs are described for wide ranges of system pressure and liquid head. Characteristics such as the quasi-steady nucleate boiling with a lifetime for He I, and the quasi-st
