The operation of a jet pump using a helium, two-phase mixture has been studied. It is shown that for the two-phase region, the relations obtained from the momentum equation are valid only up to the onset of limiting modes, ie until the stream velocity achieves the velocity of sound in any section of

β¦ Synopsis
A basic diagram of the refrigeration system, in which liquid hefium is circulated by means of a jet pump, is described. The equations have been derived to design jet devices which operate with liquid helium.
In the experimental setup with a jet pump the flow rate of liquid was 5 to 10 times larger than that of compressed gas in a direct stream of the refrigerator. After pumping the pressure was equal to (0. 15-0.40) Γ 105 Nm -2. A circulating stream of liquid helium at supercritical pressure, due to the heat load corresponding to the refrigerator capacity, was heated to O. 15-0.251(. The results of our studies permit one to determine circulation loop parameters and main geometric dimensions of the jet pump.
