| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The application of superfluid helium to the field of medicine was investigated. Some concentric bi-cylindrical channels which imitate the cryoprobe for the cryosurgery were turned out and the heat transfer characteristics were clarified. In the experiments, the temperature and pressure variation in the liquid nitrogen forced flow during heating was measured. The relation between the heat transfer coefficient and flow rate could be clarified by the temperature measurements. In the small flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient hardly changed. On the other hand, in the large flow rate, the heat transfer was promoted with the increase of the flow rate. In the pressure measurements, it was found that the liquid nitrogen forced flow had the pressure oscillation. The peak frequency of the pressure oscillation was about 200 Hz. However, as the flow rate increased, the peak frequency was vanished.
