Abstract
The finite solubility of 3He in 4He near absolute zero has provided an interesting experimental and theoretical problem for many decades. The challenge is to understand the behavior of a strongly correlated quantum fluid mixture where the fermion concentration can be varied over a reasonable wide range. Excellent review articles have been published by Ebner and Edwards1, Baym and Pethick2 and most recently by Ouboter and Yang3 where quantities such as equation of state, heat of mixing, sound velocities etc. have been analyzed as a function of concentration and pressure.
