Thermal conductivity ofHe4I from nearTλto 3.6 K and vapor pressure to 30 bars

Abstract
We present new data for the thermal conductivity of liquid He4 along isotherms from 2.1 to 3.6 K, covering the pressure range from vapor pressure to 30 bars, and along isobars from vapor pressure to 28 bars, covering the reduced-temperature range 2×106≲t [=(T-Tλ)/Tλ]≲0.1. Measurements in several cells with spacings from 0.0025 to 0.453 cm revealed no anomalous size effect. For t≳103, the accuracy of the data is 0.2% to 0.3%. Closer to Tλ systematic errors due to uncertainties in boundary-resistance corrections gradually increase with decreasing t, and reach about 2% near t=2×106. With decreasing t≲104 random errors due to finite temperature resolution increase also, and reach about 2% near t=2×106.
