Heat Transfer in Superfluids: Effect of Gravity
arXiv:cond-mat/0405450 · doi:10.1007/s10909-005-1528-4
Abstract
We discuss the influence of an external field on energy transport in superfluid. He-II is not isothermal in presence of Earth gravity; instead, it supports finite temperature gradient given by a Fourier-like equation. We calculate asymptotic behavior of the effective heat resistance in the vicinity of the -transition.
