Since this first paper, several other papers have described performance, improvements, and embodiments of this thermodynamic cycle [^3–5]. Several papers point out that the Gifford-McMahon cycle is particularly inefficient when ...

Nickel-base alloys are of particular interest for applications at cryogenic temperatures for a number of reasons. They possess a face-centered cubic crystal structure which is known to retain its toughness down to temperatures approaching absolute zero. Also the nickel-base alloys have excellent high temperature proper...

Liquid helium in an open system frequently is used to provide cooling at 4.2°K. In lieu of liquid helium supply systems which may be impractical for many applications (particularly, mobile, airborne, and space requirements), a refrigerator may be required to maintain the temperature of the apparatus. A survey has been ...

In setting up a magnet installation considerable engineering effort is needed for both the power supply and the cooling plant. For a 100-kOe facility we have seen that the power required is around 2 MW, and for 250 kOe around 12 MW, which is within the realm of heavy industrial equipment. Yet for some experiments the s...

The maraging steels are now well known for their desirable combination of high strength and good toughness at room temperature [^1–3]. Room temperature tensile strengths up to 350 ksi have been obtained with aged material; however, the fracture toughness is somewhat lowered at these high strengths. Nevertheless, reason...

Since the inception of space vacuum simulation, there has been a need to create, at least in a small test volume, the pressure existent in space, 10^-12 to 10^-16 torr. Although this level of vacuum has been achieved in research-type facilities, requiring extreme care and expense, the conduct of a test in such a system...

There are some applications where aluminum alloy castings, because of the ease with which they can be made into relatively complex shapes, would be very desirable for service at cryogenic temperatures. Parts which would require extensive machining from plate or hand forgings and are too intricate for the effective use ...

The Burnett method is an experimental technique, introduced by Burnett [^1] in 1936, which makes it possible to obtain accurate P-V-T data for pure gases and gas mixtures without requiring volume and mass measurements of the test gas at each experimental point. The mathematical formalism of the method has been presente...

With the approach of complex space missions and long cruise times, a rapid cooldown of the cryogenic propellant line becomes mandatory. Some of the problems of long chilldown include propellant waste and delayed engine starting. Early liquidsolid contact during cooldown of engine suction lines is required to damp out l...

The purpose of the experimental investigation of boiling on shrouded spheres was to provide a basis for the design of high-pressure, low-temperature gas storage tanks. Shrouded helium tanks were considered for use in the Saturn V space system. Several such tanks were connected in series and were cooled by liquid nitrog...

During the coast phases of space flight, or under orbit conditions, there will be extended periods of time during which high energy liquid propellants and other liquids will be subjected to a state of virtual weightlessness. Liquid orientation is necessary for venting the propellant tank to keep the vapor pressure with...

Development of a cryogenic superconductive gyroscope for gimballed platform mounting was initiated in an effort to determine whether operation in the cryogenic environment would avoid random changes in drift behavior which limit accuracy of conventional gyroscopes. At temperatures near absolute zero, the materials used...

The thermal insulation for a cryogenic stage is closely related to the intended mission of the space vehicle. For a low-orbit, short-duration flight (less than 1 hr), the thermal insulation is used primarily to restrict the heat flux into propellants induced by kinetic heating while passing through the earth’s atmosphe...

Stainless steels with a high nitrogen content are commonly used at high temperatures because of their superior creep-rupture strengths and their resistance to intergranular corrosion [^1]. It has recently been noticed that the nitrogen content also has a marked effect on the yield strength of such steels [^2], as shown...
