Abstract
The unusual characteristics of heat transfer in liquid He II have been reported in several recent papers. The very high thermal conductivity of the low-temperature modification of liquid helium was first noted by Keesom and Keesom (1935). It was then found by Allen, Peierls and Uddin (1937) and subsequently verified by Keesom, Keesom and Saris (1938) that the rate of transfer of heat varied with the temperature gradient. The discovery of the momentum transfer accompanying heat flow in He II which was made by Allen and Jones (1938) and the work on mobile surface films of the liquid done by Daunt and Mendelssohn (1938) show that a large part of the heat must be carried by some form of mass transfer. Several ideas and theories to explain the phenomena have been put forward by Kapitza (1938), Jones (1938), Michels, Bijl and de Boer (1938), Tisza (1938) and Keesom and Taconis (1938). The experimental evidence is as yet too meagre to prove or disprove any of the theories. It was with the intention of adding to the data already known concerning the properties of liquid He II that the present research was undertaken. The apparatus which was used is shown in fig. 1. The thermal conductivity was measured by a standard method. A constant supply of heat was supplied to one end of a long capillary containing liquid He II, and the other end was maintained at the constant temperature of the He II bath. Temperatures were observed at two points along the capillary.
