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.
