Reported are thermal conductivity measurements of liquid Helium-4 at saturated vapor pressure. measurements were made inside a super- conducting magnet. The thermal conductivity measurements consist of ramping the temperature at the cell top while passing a constant heat current through the cell from the bottom. Numerical results are quantitatively compared with the observed experimental behavior.

Presentation on the transition in 4He in the presence of a heat current (Q) provides an ideal system for the study of phase transitions under non-equlibrium, dynamical conditions. Many physical properties become nonlinear and Q-dependant near the transition temperature, T_Lambada.

Dilute solution of He 3 in He 4 near absolute zero measured for viscosity, showing temperature effect
Critical flow velocities measured by Doppler-shifted third sound in unsaturated helium II films are shown to exhibit a well-defined maximum as a function of film thickness and at this maximum to be considerably higher than those usually found in film flow. In addition the critical velocity is strongly temperature dependent below the maximum and relatively temperature independent above.
