He II 中の大気圧から飽和圧力の範囲で発生する各膜沸騰モードの熱流動状態

Four film boiling modes including the silent film boiling and the noisy film boiling were discriminated experimentally. Each mode was classified through visual observation and transient pressure and temperature measurements near the heater. It was found that in subcooled He II there were two film boiling modes, which are the strongly subcooled and weakly subcooled film boiling modes. The variation of boiling state between these two modes could be visually observed well by use of a transparent heater. All mode of film boiling is clearly mapped in diagrams as a function of pressure, temperature and heat flux. It is elucidated that the existence of He I layer influences the development of the vapor layer. (Translation of the article originally published in Cryogenics 49 (2009) 583–588)
