Visualization of cryogenic helium flow using of laser-induced-fluorescence
Drahotský, Jakub ; Šiler, Martin (referee) ; Urban, Pavel (advisor)
This work evaluates the laser induced fluorescence method (LIF) for the vizualization of the cryogenic helium flows for experimental study of the Rayleigh–Bénard convection at the Institute of Scientific Instruments (ISI) in Brno in the labs of Cryogenics and Superconductivity group. As the tracer particles, we considered the metastable molecules He2*, that are created by the ionization of helium with themfemtosecond laser pulse and then they are excited by the lasers with appropriate wavelengths for the invocation of the fluorescence. On the basis of the research study, I have evaluated the current laser equipment at the ISI as insufficient for the experiment realization. At the end of this work, there is a list of a laser technique and other devices which are necessary for the adaptation of the LIF method in the experiments at ISI.

Temperature Inversion and Heat Transport Against the Temperature Drop in Two-Phase Convection of Cryogenic Helium
Urban, Pavel ; Schmoranzer, D. ; Hanzelka, Pavel ; Skrbek, L.
In the system of two bodies A and B connected by a two-phase vapour-liquid system consisting only of cryogenic helium, we observed anomalous heat transport from the colder but heated body B to the warmer but cooled body A. We noticed this effect during the process of liquid evaporation inside a cylindrical pressure convection cell used for study of Rayleigh-Bénard convection. This anomalous heat transfer occurs under non-equilibrium conditions, owing to the phase transitions that take place inside the cell while temperature inversion develops between the heated but cooler bottom plate and the cooled but warmer top plate. This process is, by virtue of the system being open with respect to heat transport, in no contradiction to the second law of thermodynamics, and a numerical model was formulated that describes the observations with good agreement.
