Abstract
This Paper shows that porous plug material can serve as a control device during liquid transfer. The application of heat flux directly relates to the temperature and pressure gradient across the plug in the flow regime 1. For a given porous material an empirical relation exists that predicts the first critical state which is the upper limit for low pressure drop liquid transfer. Thus, the porous plug can serve a dual purpose for liquid helium transfer in space: the plug can serve as a phase separator during zero gravity storage: and the plug can serve as a low pressure drop control device during liquid transfer.
