Abstract

Realistic scenario can be represented by general canonical ensemble way better than the ideal one, with proper parameter sets involved. We study the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena of liquid helium within the framework of Tsallis statistics. With a comparatively high value of the deformation parameter q(1.4)q(\sim 1.4), the theoretically calculated value of the critical temperature(TcT_c) of the phase transition of liquid helium is found to agree with the experimentally determined value (Tc=2.17 KT_c = 2.17~\rm{K}), although they differs from each other for q=1q=1 (undeformed scenario). This throws a light on the understanding of the phenomenon and connects temperature fluctuation(non-equilibrium conditions) with the interactions between atoms qualitatively. More interactions between atoms give rise to more non-equilibrium conditions which is as expected. \noindent {{\bf Keywords}: Tsallis statistics, Bose-Einstein condensation, liquid helium.}
