23. The density of liquid along the melting curve changes less than 30 ppm below 500 mK. [H.N. Hanson, J.E. Berthold, G.M. Seidel, and H.J. Maris, Phys. Rev. B PLRBAQ 0556-2805 14, 1911 (1976)]. 10.1103/PhysRevB.14.1911
24. The density of solid changes less than 0.1% below 500 mK [C.A. Swenson, Phys. Rev. PHRVAO 0031-899X 79, 626 (1950)]. Since the total density of the helium is fixed the ratio of liquid to solid should change less than 0.1%. The heat capacity contribution due to solid-liquid conversion can thus be estimated from the latent heat (calculated from the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation) released. 10.1103/PhysRev.79.626
