Membrane filters with porosities of more than 70% have been proven to be useful for the fabrication of thermomechanical pumps (fountain effect pumps) with mass fluxes up to 1.7 g s -1 cm -2 at ~0.25 bar\* head of pressure. Different pumps made of 14 mm thick stacks of commercially available Sartoriu
We have observed the critical onset of dissipation in the flow of superfluid 4He through a submicron aperture as a function of velocity to have a finite width that increases with temperature. The results suggest a thermal activation barrier of the form &(l-v/vc,,) with Eo of the order of 1.5x10-21 J
We report the existence of a pressure dependence of the critical velocity of flow of superfluid 4He through a submicron aperture. Combined with the already-known temperature dependence of the critical velocity at very low temperatures, this observation puts further experimental constraints on the me
