Pressure Dependence of Second Sound Velocity in Liquid Helium. II

The two-fluid theory and second sound in liquid helium

© 2009 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0910-020-0 Early research with liquid helium showed that it had remarkable new properties, especially below the so-called lambda transition near 2.2 K, where there is a sharp, narrow peak in the specific heat (see figure 1a). The liquid below the transition was named helium II to distinguish it from the liquid above the transition, called helium...

Pressure Dependence of Liquid Vapor Pressure: An Improved Gibbs Prediction

A new model for the vapor phase of a pressurized liquid called "the cluster model: which is originally introduced in this work, along with an accurate equation of state for the liquid phase called the LIR, is used to derive an accurate equation for the vapor pressure of liquid as a function of external pressure. The chemical Potential of both phase have been found to be in good agreement wi...

Dynamics of a Simple Model for Turbulence of the Second Sound in Helium II

The results of numerical experiments on chaotic (’turbulent’) dynamics of the second sound in helium II are presented and discussed based on a very simple model proposed and theoretically studied recently by Khalatnikov and Kroyter. Using a powerful present–day techniques for the studying nonlinear phenomena, we confirm their results on the stationary oscillation in helium and its stability as ...

Pressure evolution of the high-frequency sound velocity in liquid water.

The high-frequency sound velocity v( infinity ) of liquid water has been determined to densities of 1.37 g/cm(3) by inelastic x-ray scattering. In comparison to the hydrodynamic sound velocity v(0), the increase of v( infinity ) with density is substantially less pronounced, indicating that, at high density, the hydrogen-bond network is decreasingly relevant to the physical properties of liquid...
