Using a technique due to Nicoll for studying the wave-number–dependent specific heat in the bulk geometry, we calculate for temperatures above the lambda point the two-loop specific-heat scaling function for the parallel plate geometry with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We work with the logarithmic specific heat for simplicity, since for the actual superfluid transition the exponent α is very close to zero. The agreement with the recent data is exhibited.
