THERMODYNAMIC DATA OF HELIUM-3

Abstract

The PVT properties, entropy, enthalpy, internal energy, thermal conductivity and viscosity of He3 have been tabulated between 1K and 100K at selected pressures up to 100 atm. Measurements were made on the PVT properties and the specific heat at constant volume of gaseous He3 from 4K to 20K and a modified Strobridge equation was obtained which represented the PVT data within plus or minus 1%. Using this equation, the SVT and HVT surfaces were obtained from 4K to 20K. A correlation based on the quantum version of the principle of corresponding states was used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of He3 from 20K to 100K. Similar correlations were developed for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of He3 for temperatures up to 100K. Tabulations of thermodynamic properties of He3 along the vapor-liquid boundary and in the compressed liquid region are also included in the tables. An H-S diagram of the data with P, V, and T as parameters is included in the report.
