Review & Description
At least 10 years have elapsed since a comprehensive monograph concerned with the broad subject of cryogenics has been published. During this time a considerable quantity of research and development has been carried out in the field of cryogenics. Furthermore, there has been a certain degree of redirection of effort within the field, mostly driven by the variety of new applications, ranging from superconductive magnet systems to microelectronics. The present new edition has been written to fill in the void of the last 10 years. The author’s approach is to survey the field of cryogenics, as it pertains to helium fluids. This approach is more specialized than that contained in previous cryogenics books. The level of treatment is more advanced and a certain knowledge of fundamental engineering and physics principles has been assumed. The goal throughout the work is to bridge the gap between the physics and engineering aspects of helium fluids to encourage their use and enhance their usefulness in low-temperature systems.
