The Lambda Point Experiment in Microgravity
in C)ctober 1992 a low temperature experiment was flown on the Space Shuttle in low earth orbit, using the J]’I. low temperature research facility. The objective of the mission was to measure the heat capacity and thermal relaxation of helium very close to the lambda point with the smearing effect of gravity removed. We describe the experiment with emphasis on the high resolution thermometry an...
متن کاملThe Lambda Point Experiment in Microgravity
The remarkable phenomena which occur when a system undergoes a cooperative phase transition have claimed the attention of scientists for many years. It was recognised that the unusual behavior was a result of the interactions between the constituents of the system, but a realistic treatment of the problem, either microscopic or phenomenological, appeared prohibitively difficult. In the early 70...
متن کاملMeasurement of the SOC State Specific Heat in 4 He
When a heat flux Q is applied downward through a sample of liquid He near the lambda transition, the helium self organizes such that the gradient in temperature matches the gravity induced gradient in 7\. All the helium in the sample is then at the same reduced temperature ^soc and the helium is said to be in the Self-Organized Critical (SOC) state. We have made preliminary measurements of the ...
متن کاملMeasuring the Heat Capacity of Superfluid He in the Presence of a Heat Flux Near T : Progress and Prospects
It has been predicted that the heat capacity of superfluid He will diverge strongly at a depressed transition temperature in the presence of a constant heat flux, Q. We have built a cell to measure this effect, and have taken preliminary measurements at various heat flux values. Our data indicate an enhancement of the heat capacity that varies as a function of Q. However, the temperature depend...
متن کاملDevelopment of Structural and Thermal Elements for Critical Dynamics in Microgravity Experiment
We report on the design, fabrication and test of cryogenic sample cells and structures for the Critical Dynamics in Microgravity Experiment (DYNAMX), an experiment scheduled to fly on the space shuttle as part of the Microgravity Science Payload (MSP) in February 2001. The design requirements for these components, and the resultant design and implementation experiences will be presented. In par...
