Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Problems of experimental studies of the boiling of superfluid helium (He-II) on a cylindrical heater placed in a porous body are considered. The experimental setup, experimental cell, control and measurement means, and video recording and data processing methods are described. The experimental technique and results are presented.
