Specific Heat of Helium at Constant Volume along the Lambda Line

  • 1. Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 (United States)

Description

We report new measurements of the constant-volume specific heat of helium along the lambda line from 0.15 to 24.4 bars. The pressure in the cell was also recorded as a function of temperature using a gauge with a superconducting readout. This data can be used to convert the results to the constant-pressure specific heat along isobars. The constant-volume data compare well with earlier results and extend the temperature range of the measurements much closer to the lambda line. A preliminary conversion to Cp(T,P) indicates good agreement with universality
