Numerical solutions of the one-dimensional conservation equations of fluid flow are given for the problem of the cool-down of superconducting power transmission cables. By including the continuity and momentum conservation equations, both time dependent and spatially dependent mass flow may be treat

Analytical and experimental studies on the cool-down of vacuum insulated cryogenic transfer lines have been carried out. An expression for estimating the cool-down history is derived taking into account the gas conduction effects. Experiments were carried out for LN2 flow in glass lines. The cool-do
Cool-down of cryogenic transfer lines is studied analytically and experimentally. Analytical expressions are derived for estimating cool-down time of uninsulated and vacuum insulated lines. The experimental results prove that for short sections the mass flow-rate does not affect the cool-down very s
The successful operation of the cable makes us hopeful it can be used for large capacity transmission. Our test line is composed of aluminium stranded hollow conductor, liquid-nitrogen impregnated polyethylene paper electrical insulation, and polyurethane foam thermal insulation.
It is expected that once the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is serviced on-orbit it may have to be cooled down to its operating temperature to perform an efficient fill of the cryogens. An on-orbit cool-down can become necessary if a warm change-out of some cryogenic instruments is requir
