Keywords: superfluid helium, second sound, resonances, standing wave. Introduction Superfluid 4He possesses a number of unique features. One of them is the existence of second sound [1]. Unlike usual sound in the second sound mode not full momentum (and pressure) fluctuates but temperature (and entropy) fluctuations take place. Second sound provides heat trans- fer and temperature relaxation in He II. One of the experimental methodic to study second sound is the generation of the standing wave of second sound. This methodic was used in the first experiments dealt with second sound [2,3], as well as in the latest ex- periments [4], in which the possible electric properties of second sound were studied. The latter experiments resulted on theoretical consideration presented in this paper. In this work the heat transfer model in the double-layer systems [5,6] is presented. Such double-layer systems as heater–helium and helium–detector are considered. The nature of heat transfer in these layers is very different. Heat transfer in the heater and the detector is determined by dissipative process of thermal conductivity, so, it is de- scribed by usual thermal conductivity equation. Heat trans- fer in helium is determined by second sound and it is de- scribed by the system of equations for superfluid with taking into accounts both dissipative thermal conductivity mode and second sound mode. 2. Double-layer system heater–helium At first we consider the double-layer system consisting of a heater and helium (see Fig. 1,a). The first layer is a usual substance of finite length 1l and serves as a heater. The second layer is superfluid helium of finite length 2l . The left end of the first layer is thermally isolated. Inside the first layer heat sources are uniformly distributed. To describe heat transfer in the first layer usual thermal conductivity equation with external uniformly distributed heat sources q(t) is used ( )1 1 1 0( ), ( ) cos ,T T q t q t Q tχ ω= + =′′ (1) where χ1 is the temperature conductivity of the heater, 1T is the temperature deviation of the heater from the equilib- rium value T0, Q0 is the dimensionless (divided to heat capacity) external heat sources amplitude, ω is the frequen- cy of external heat source.

Heat transfer in the second layer is described with the system of hydrodynamic equations for superfluids that takes into account both second sound and dissipation [2] 2 2 2 0, . n n v u T T v Tχ ⎧ + =′⎪ ⎨ + =′ ′′⎪⎩ (4) Here 2u is the second sound velocity, vn is the normal fluid velocity, χ2 is the temperature conductivity of the helium, T is the temperature deviation from the equilibrium value T0. The boundary condition at the right end of heli- um has the form 2( , ) 0,T l t = (5) where l2 is the length of the second layer. The heat flow in helium is 0 ,nq ST v Tκ= − ′ (6) where S is the entropy of helium and 2VCκ χ= is the thermal conductivity coefficient of helium. Here we should note that the second term in Eq. (6) almost at all tempera- tures can be neglected. 3. Result of calculation To solve the problem Laplace transform was used in order to solve the problem about switching on [7,8] and off the heat flow in future. Amplitude and phase of the heat flow at the boundary of the layers were obtained by equat- ing temperatures and heat flows at the boundary.

Here we introduced the values k1 and k2, which respect to typical inverse lengths of the problem: k1 corresponds to dissipative thermal heat wave length: 2 2 1 2 1 1 2 u k U U ω ⎛ ⎞ = −⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ , (11) and k2 defines the wavelength of second sound: 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 u k U U ω ⎛ ⎞ = +⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ . (12) The value U determines the velocity of heat propagation: 4 2 24 2U u ω χ= + .

QB x s l x s l s x s l s l x s l s l x s l φ φ = − + − − − − − (19) These results allow determining of the heat flow both inside the helium and at the right boundary of the vessel with helium, i.e. in the point, where the bolometer is situ- ated in experiments [4]. 4. The problem of thermometer measurement When carrying out experiments [4] temperature is measured with the help of thermometer, which is situated in the right side of the vessel with helium. Let’s show that situation when thermometer measures not temperature but heat flow is possible. Using Eq. (17) heat flow at right side of helium at 2x l= can be written in the form 2 2( , ) sin ( ),Q l t Q tω β= + (20) where phase shift is 3 4 4 3 cos sin arctan , cos sin s s s s φ φ β φ φ ⎛ ⎞− = ⎜ ⎟−⎝ ⎠ (21) and amplitude is equal to 2 2 1 3 4 3 4 2 2 2 1 2 2 sin (2 ) . cos (2 ) cosh (2 ) Q s s s s Q k l k l φ+ − = + (22) Let the thermometer does not change heat flow in heli- um. Then thermal conductivity equation for the thermome- ter t B xxT Tχ= can be written with the boundary conditions 2( 0) sin ( )BQ x Q tω β= = + , ( ) 0B BQ x l= = (because the thermometer is heat insulated with non-conductor), where Bl is the thermometer length, Bχ is the thermometer tem- perature conductivity. In this case the solution of the thermal conductivity equation inside the thermometer has the form ( ) ( ) ( )2 cos / ( ) ( , ) sin sin / B B B B B B l x T x t Q t l ω χ ω β χ ω ω χ − = + . (23) From this expression we obtain the average temperature in the thermometer: 2 0 ( , )1( ) ( , ) Bl B B B B Q l t T t T x t dx l l ω = =∫ . (24) So, under definite conditions, when one side of a ther- mometer is thermally isolated, the thermometer will show the heat flow at its other side. In our case such thermome- ter will show heat flow in helium at 2x l= . 5. Heat flow resonanses It is known that under boundary conditions (3) in super- fluid helium temperature and heat flow resonances appear. This phenomenon was described in [7,8] where experi- ments with given heat flow at both ends were carried out. In such case temperature and heat flow resonances are ob- served in all harmonics (Fig. 2,a). In this work it is shown that such problem formulation when only odd resonances Fig. 2.

In classical case right end is heat insulated ( 2( , ) 0Q l t = ) and in our case right end is at constant temperature ( 2( , ) 0T l t = ). Resonance frequency dependence on length of the first layer was studied as well. It was found out that the longer the first layer is the less is resonance frequency. In Fig. 3 an example of such dependence for the first resonance is given. 6. Double-layer system helium–detector Let’s study the influence of the right wall of the vessel on resonances characteristics. So, we consider the right wall as a layer of h width (see Fig. 1,b). Heat transfer in it we describe with the usual thermal conductivity equation. Heat transfer in helium we describe with the system (4). For simplicity we consider 2 0χ = and 1 0l = . We have obtained the double-layer system (the first layer is super- fluid helium and the second layer is the right wall of the vessel) with the following boundary conditions: ( )0( 0, ) cos , ( , ) 0.Q x t Q t T h tω= = = (25) Making temperatures and heat flows equal at the boundary of the layers we obtain the following expression for temperature in superfluid helium: ____________________________________________________ ( ) ( ) ( ) 0 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 ( ) sin ( ) cos ( , ) , 4 cos ( ) 4 sin ( ) 2 sin 2V V Q C x t C x t T x t u C kl b u kl b C u kl b ω ω α ωχ α ωχ α ⎡ + ⎤⎣ ⎦= ⎡ ⎤+ +⎣ ⎦ (26) where functions C1(x) and C2(x) are ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 2 4 ( ) 4 cos sin ( ( )) 4 sin cos ( ) 2 cos (2 ) , ( ) 2 cos .

Odd harmonics resonances of the heat flow appear and characteristics of these resonances depend on h. When h is much less then the length of heat wave in the right wall of the vessel we obtain the expression for resonance of the heat flow: ( ) 0 2 2 2 2 0 ( ) . Q u A l ω ω ω γ = − + (31) Here 0ω is a resonance frequency and γ is the width of the resonance peak: 2 2 2 . V u h C l γ χ = (32) Temperature odd harmonic resonances of unusual form appear (Fig. 4). When h is much less then the length of heat wave in the right wall of the vessel we obtain the ex- pression for resonance of the temperature: Fig. 3.

(33) Such a behavior near a resonance frequency is much unexpected. The nature of this phenomenon is connected with the unusual type of the considered system. It consists of two layers which have different type of heat transfer — acoustic and dissipative. This frequency dependence could be observed in future experiments. All the conditions under which such resonances can be observed are presented in this paper. 6. Conclusions In conclusion we should note that the double-layer model of heat emission and propagation in helium is built. We have considered two double-layer systems: heater–he- lium and helium–detector. The model takes into account both second sound mode and thermal conductivity in su- perfluid helium and dissipative heat transfer in heater and the detector. Resonance frequency and amplitude dependence on width of the heater and the detector was studied. The ex- plicit expressions for temporal and spatial dependencies of temperature (14) and heat flow (17) were derived. In par- ticular, these equations allow demonstrating the depend- ences of resonance frequency on the heater width (Fig. 3). Conditions, under which thermometer measures not tem- perature but heat flow, are determined and the expression (24) for the temperature in this case was obtained. Unusual heat flow resonances behavior (33) is found out and experimental conditions under which such phe- nomenon may be observed are defined. Resonance fre- quency dependence on the heater length is found out. In- fluence of the right wall of the vessel on resonance characteristics is studied. Particularly, it was found, that the resonance width in helium can be determined not by dissipative properties of helium, but the dissipation in de- tector (32). 1. I.M.
