Outline of Final Research Achievements

The microgravity experiments of boiling and condensation in superfluid fluid (He II)were carried out successfully using by a drop tower. The analysis results on the visualization experiment was found the heat transfer mechanism on the vapor liquid interface during boiling in He II under microgravity environment.The prediction model of bubble expansion were described basis on this experimental results. We also found that the critical heat flux in microgravity can be predict using by the data on the earth gravity. And we tried to visualize the fluid motion of normal fluid component around vapor during boiling with the PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) method. The flow filed was determined by the heat flux calculated by the length from the heat source and the bubble motion.
