Cryogenic heat transfer

by Randall F. Barron

Cryogenic Heat Transfer covers some of the special heat transfer problems that are encountered in the cryogenic temperature range, where there are significant differences from conventional heat transfer problems. Throughout the book, example problems are given in each section to illustrate the application of the principles presented. The specific features of heat transfer at cryogenic temperatures (variable properties, near critical convection, Kapitza resistance, etc.) are also included. Extensive references are given for the person interested in further study. Aimed at the reader who has completed an undergraduate engineering heat transfer course, this text is written for students in cryogenic heat transfer, cryogenic systems, and refrigeration. It will also be an excellent reference for practicing engineers to assist them in the design of cryogenic thermal systems.
