The heat capacity, CQ, of superfluid 4He in the presence of a constant heat flux, Q, is expected to diverge at a depressed transition temperature, Tc(Q). We have taken preliminary measurements of CQ at various heat flux values in the range 1 μW/cm2Q4 μW/cm2. We observe that at sufficiently small reduced temperatures, CQ is enhanced as a function of Q, and that the enhancement is larger than theoretical predictions by Chui et al. and Hausmann and Dohm (Phys. Rev. Lett 77 (1996) 980, 1793; preprint).
