Superfluid and normal fluid helium II in a rotating tank under low and microgravity environmentsThe physical behavior of superfluid and normal fluid helium II is discussed. It is shown that the centrifugal force due to a rotating container can never separate the superfluid from the normal fluid helium in a large rotating cylindrical spacecraft. A classical approach is appropriate for treating superfluid and normal fluid cryogenic helium as a mixture without separation in a large rotating cylinder in a spacecraft propellant systems.
