Abstract

In the operation of systems associated with liquid helium, many workers have observed thermally sustained pressure oscillations [2,4,5,7,8,11,16,17]. These oscillations cause pressure fluctuations and a vastly increased heat leak to the low-temperature region. The geometry of such systems is generally as illustrated in Fig. 1.
