A general model for the study and optimization of reversed cycle thermal machines with two heat reservoirs is presented. The model is based on the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, heat transfer equations at finite thermal source and sink capacities, and entropy generation terms in order to c

โฆ Synopsis
A prototype refrigerator using a demagnetization cycle has been designed and built to operate continuously, pumping heat from temperatures as low as 2. 10 K to a heat sink at 4 K. The device has pumped 0.2 War 2. 10 K and 0.5 War 2.75 K. Criteria have been developed for selecting magnetic refrigerant materials, and heat capacities of the most promising compounds were measured from 1K to 20 K in magnetic fields of up to 10.0 7".

The low-temperature, magnetic entropy of certain single-crystal paramagnetic materials, eg DyPO 4 changes dramatically as the crystal rotates in a magnetic field. A new magnetic refrigerator design based on the anisotropic nature of such materials is presented. The key advantages of the rotational-c
