Effect of Small Additions of Helium on the Thermophysical Properties of Alkanes and Inert Gases

Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A study is performed of the effect helium has on the thermophysical properties of alkanes and inert gases. New data on the capillary constant of n-butane–helium and isobutane–helium solutions are presented. It is shown that helium can act as a surfactant or inactive substance. Equations describing the pressure and concentration dependences of the capillary constant and surface tension are proposed.
