✦ Synopsis

Experiments were conducted with saturated superfluid helium. Two-phase co-current stratified flow was circulated through a 40 mm inner diameter, 86 m long heated tube, with a slope of 1.4%. Mass flow rates and temperatures ranged between 1.5 and 6.3 g s-l, and 1.8 and 2 K, respectively. A full description of the flow was obtained by measuring mass flow rate, quality, void fraction, wetted surface and pressure losses by means of specific diagnostics. Results of measurements show two regions. For low gas velocities, thermo-hydraulic behaviour is fully described by a separated stratified two-phase flow model. For gas velocities higher than 4 m s-', an increase in the wall heat exchange seems to indicate that liquid droplet entrainment occurs. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

This paper presents the physical basis of a one-dimensional two-fluid stratified flow model, adapted for adiabatic or diabatic superfluid helium flow. Closure relationships for wall shear stresses and inter-facial momentum transfer are used to predict the total pressure losses and the void fraction

However, data below the X-point (2.17 K) differed drastically in the two calibrations. The supplier could not explain this discrepancy, and the s

This paper describes a study performed to obtain the critical heat flux data on liquM helium I in a vertical tube under forced convection. The pressure of the fluid ranges from 1. 1 to 2.0 atm , and the quality up to 1. The results show that the critical heat flux decreases with increasing pressure
