Abstract

By consideration of the melting pressure data it is shown that calculations implying that the nuclear spins in liquid He3 are appreciably aligned at temperatures above 0.5°K are inconsistent with the assumption that the nuclear spins are randomly oriented in the solid. The expression Sliq=Rln2+0.344RT+0.013RT3 for the entropy of liquid He3 (including the nuclear spin entropy) is consistent with the vapor pressure data from 1.0°K to 2.5°K and with the melting pressure data from 0.5°K to 1.5°K.
