Enhanced Heat Capacity of Superfluid Helium in a Heat Flux Guest experiment on DYNAMX (critical dynamics in μg). NASA flight experiment. 2008 flight on International Space Station (μg environment). Purpose: Test predictions of the dynamic renormalization group theory. When one applies a heat flux, Q, to a sample of superfluid: - Transition temperature is depressed, T{sub}c(Q) < T{sub}λ - Heat capacity is enhanced, ΔC{sub}Q = C{sub}Q - C{sub}0, and diverges at T{sub}c(Q).
