We report on heat transport in horizontal two-phase He II and vapor in a 2 m long test section with a 3 mm wide by 65 mm tall cross section. Liquid and vapor temperatures are measured at eight locations, six along the channel and two in the boundary reservoirs. The six measurements along the channel

β¦ Synopsis
Experimental and numerical investigations have been carried out on the heat transport characteristics in a channel where atmospherically pressurized He II coexists with He I. The channel has a rectangular cross-section and both ends are open to the bath. One of the side walls of the channel is heated uniformly. The channel is placed vertically or horizontally in the bath. The experimental results are analysed by two-dimensional time-dependent numerical calculations. An explicit finite element scheme is applied to the two-fluid equations which include the Gorter-Mellink mutual friction term. It is found that the applied heat is transported by one-dimensional internal convection through the channel filled with single phase He II. Once He I is generated in the channel, however, two-dimensional flow occurs due to natural convection and this influences the transport of heat.

Experimental and theoretical investigations of time dependent heat transport in He II have identified several new phenomena not previously reported. For heat fluxes greater than the steady state peak value, there is an observed time delay between the initiation of heating and the onset of film boili

The subcooled He I layer, in contact with a large heated surface in a channel filled with the pressurized superfluid He II (He II,), expands the non-boiling region above the Kapitza region up to on, above which nucleate boiling sets in. As the bath temperature decreases, g, is increased more rapidly
