内容記述 | Various transport modes in superfluid helium are discussed. They include zero net mass flow and finite mass flow for pure superfluid and normal fluid flow. An attempt is made to characterize these transport modes in a common frame of reference. Two dimensionless numbers are used, namely, the dimensionless heat flux number and the dimensionless driving force number. The equations are generalized by the use of a characteristic length so that they can be applied to the transport of HE II in any geometry. The theories are then extended to applications in space. In particular, fountain effect pumps and superfluid management at zero g by vapor-liquid phase separators are discussed in detail. |
