Record 2 2003-02-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Cryogenics
  • Petroleum Cracking
DEF

Liquid helium existing as a superfluid below the transition point of approximately 2.2°K at 1 atmosphere and having extremely low viscosity and extremely high thermal conductivity.

CONT

Superfluid Helium What Is It? As the temperature of helium gas is lowered to approximately 5. 2°K, a phase transition to ordinary liquid helium(He I) takes place. The latter is unremarkable and its behavior is identical to any other liquid. As temperature is lowered further(at moderate pressures) helium does not solidify. Rather, it undergoes a phase change to a second liquid phase He II at temperature of about 2. 17°K.... the He II phase persists all the way to absolute zero.... The He II phase is referred to as superfluid helium because of its remarkable properties, including the ability to flow through microscopic passages [holes as small as 10-7 centimeters in diameter] with no apparent friction; the quantization of vortices; and the ability to support four wave modes : first sound which is analogous to sound in ordinary gases and liquids, second sound which carries temperature and entropy perturbations with virtually no pressure variations, third sound which are waves on thin films, and fourth sound which are acoustic-like waves in the "superfluid" component of He II.

CONT

Superfluid Helium (He II, Superfluidity). Superfluid or Helium II technology has been developed quite successfully in the past decades in both aerospace and magnet cooling systems. ... Other strange properties of superfluid include the Rollin film, mechanocaloric effect and fountain effect.

CONT

On désigne par Hélium II, l'hélium en dessous de Tlambda. L'hélium superfluide a la propriété bien connue d'avoir une viscosité nulle (il peut traverser de très fins capillaires sans frottement; il a la capacité de pouvoir remonter le long des parois, etc.).

CONT

En refroidissant sous la pression atmosphérique de l'hélium ordinaire [...], on constate qu'il se liquéfie à 4,2 K. Le liquide ainsi produit (hélium I) n'a rien de particulier, sa viscosité est faible, mais il se comporte comme tous les liquides usuels. En refroidissant ce liquide au-dessous de 2,17 K, on voit apparaître une phase liquide aux propriétés exceptionnelles (hélium II) souvent désignée sous le nom d'hélium superfluide en raison de sa viscosité pratiquement nulle. L'hélium II est également caractérisé par une résistivité thermique pratiquement nulle, on dit que c'est un supraconducteur thermique.

Record 4 2000-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Gas and Oil Heating
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
DEF

A gas-air proportioning device that causes the flow of combustion air to induce the proper amount of gas into the airstream. It is used with low pressure air and zero gas.

CONT

The premix aspirator burner system is very common and is probably the simplest of all the burner systems ... This system does not require high gas pressure gas (1 lb. or above). It does require a blower as well as a zero pressure regulator. The aspirator mixer is actually a device that intimately mixes the air and gas to insure complete combustion. This mixture goes through a venturi tube and exits at the burner tip where it combusts.

Key term(s)
  • suction mixer

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
  • Chauffage au gaz et au mazout
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
CONT

Les mélangeurs basse pression et à Venturi type Lojector utilisent des pressions gaz de 20 à 140 mbar. Ils possèdent des injecteurs fixes ou réglables ainsi qu'un registre d'air primaire ajustable.
