Experimental Observation of Thermal Energies of Helium-4 Superflows
Yu, Yongle; Luo, Hailin
We observed a counter-intuitive remarkable heating phenomenon generated by helium-4 superflows. This phenomenon establishes that superflows carry thermal energies and entropies, which is in contrast to the hypothesis of the two-fluid model. Quantum many-body theory of superfluids provides a natural understanding of the phenomenon. |
