Review of hydrodynamics and heat transfer for large helium cooling systems

This paper is a review of recent experimental results and computational methods needed for the fluid engineering aspects of helium cooling systems for power applications. The discussion is illustrated by three different applications: large magnets; power transmission lines and ac generators. An atte...

Description
Summary:This paper is a review of recent experimental results and computational methods needed for the fluid engineering aspects of helium cooling systems for power applications. The discussion is illustrated by three different applications: large magnets; power transmission lines and ac generators. An attempt is made to put recent research into perspective, considering the requirements of each application, and problems in need of further research are pointed out.
