Abstract
PV isotherms of He3 gas have been measured at 3.786, 2.991, 2.161, 1.818, and 1.516°K. Values of the second virial coefficient, B, derived from the data, are, respectively, -65.37, -86.25, -117.9, -142.3, and -168.0 cc/mole. For only the isotherms of 3.786 and 2.991°K was the third virial coefficient found to be significant. These values are 1132 and 1718 cc2/mole2, respectively. The measured B's are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with those calculated using a modified Slater-Kirkwood type potential, with constants chosen to give a good fit to the measured He4 B's below 4°K.
