Boiling of He-II on a cylindrical heater inside a porous shell with constant operation condition

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents new efforts undertaken in the study of boiling in superfluid helium on the surface of a cylindrical heater located along the axis in a cylindrical cavity inside a porous shell. New experimental results are obtained with maintaining constant temperature of the helium-II and helium vapor pressure. The modernization of the experimental setup and vacuum system carried out to obtain a series of longer experiments with maintaining a stationary state are described. The basic experimental configurations are specified. Visualization of helium-II film boiling in constant operation condition is represented.
