(a) Estimate the liquefaction coefficient λ for helium by treating it as a van der Waals gas. Select the van der Waals coefficients a and b in such a way that fur one mole 2Wb is the actual molar volume of liquid helium and that 2u/b is the actual inversion temperature Use the data in Table 12.1. Approximate the denominator in (7) by settling

H_out – H_tiq ≈ ∆h + 5/2 (τ_in – τ_tiq),

where ∆H is the latent heat of vaporization of liquid helium. (Explain how this approximation arises if on treats the expanded gas as an ideal). The resulting expression gives λ a function of the molar volumes V_in and V_out. Convert to pressures by approximating the V_s via the ideal gas law,

(b) Insert numerical values for T = 15 K and compare with figure.
