Moscow Power Engineering Institute (Technical University), Moscow, 111250

Abstract: Regimes of superfluid-helium boiling on structural-steel spheres 4.8 and 6.0 mm in diameter, with heaters installed inside, are examined. Experimental data on the evolution of vapor films formed on the spherical surfaces are obtained.

Keywords: superfluid helium, interface, film boiling, molecular-kinetic theory.
