Abstract
A porous material inserted into a fluid-containing vessel reduces turbulence, heat transfer, and mass transfer in the fluid. The material may be used in a cryostat to reduce turbulence in a boiling cryogenic fluid. The cryostat may be used in an energy dispersive x-ray analysis unit to cool an x-ray detector.
